From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think he did, but I'm not sure if he called that out explicitly. Basically the recommendation is: yeah, try it, but also, all the power it gives you can make you go off the deep end. Don't fall for the trap of trying to build your own editing software.
Meanwhile, I read stories from other users here on the Fediverse who had grandparents who got fed up with Windows and installed Aurora; they just figured things out as they went and stuck with it.
So like you say, don't go too crazy right out of the gate. Get used to the new system, and learn a new way of doing things.
