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 absolutely jumped straight in lol it's not too bad as long as you have some time to read the wiki and play around
Default configuration the installer generates is good to get you going
Yeah, if you have the time and the inclination to sit down and learn how Nix operates, then you'll be fine.
For myself, I realized that I am happier tinkering with it now and again rather than running it as a daily driver OS.
I can't imagine using anything else at this point tbh, it's been the smoothest, cleanest experience I've ever had on Linux
It's the one that finally made me abandon windows completely and stop distro hopping
