Use Ubuntu as your starting point for Linux.
Use Ubuntu as your starting point for Linux.
I rely on Kali Linux for my work with scammers, etc. Ubuntu is a solid option to begin with because it’s free, simple to set up, and offers several programs. That’s the short version. While all Linux distributions are free, there’s often a cost involved in getting software to function properly on Linux. Most programs require you to quickly grasp Linux commands, which can be challenging but rewarding. I’m comfortable using both Windows and Linux and enjoy learning new things daily.
I also suggest Ubuntu for a desktop setup. You can set up any desktop environment or window manager you prefer across various Linux distributions. I rely on vtwm, a minimal window manager built from twm. It simplifies features like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and allows you to install and manage proprietary drivers for devices that need them. You can also run the native hypervisor KVM with a few commands and host any Windows version as a guest.
You might find it useful to keep both Linux and Windows desktops in guests, using Linux as the host once they're installed. This approach lets you revert changes easily, especially when beginners are learning Linux/UNIX.
No one is assisting that person at all. It’s pointless to visit the Linux area if you’re just trying to criticize and urge someone back to Windows. @TubsAlwaysWins, check out the guide in my signature—I mainly focus on how to pinpoint a distro and compare its main features.
