Or get Proton and Let Valve do the rest.

Serious question. I'm planning on switching from windows to some distro, but it will be the first time I'm daily driving Linux. Are there any solid beginner-friendly resources for getting started? I'm familiar with simple bash commands, but that's about it

For me worked:

  • Install Debian
  • be confused by all the options in the installation process, look up every unknown word, try to do everything manualy, fail
  • start installation process again, choose all the defaults, works!
  • trying to install a programm with terminal, fail because not in sudo list, look up how to get into sudo list
  • update in terminal doesn't work, have to remove some lines in /etc/apt/sources.list - look up how to use the text editor nano, look many yt-videos about Linux filesystem (what to those folders mean? Everything is a file?)
  • try to resize a partition (can't remember which), can't, because I didn't choose LVM in installation process - install Debian again, and do all the steps above again

I think I had to reinstall Debian 5 more times after that, just because I didn't know what I was doing and it was an easy reset for me.

Very frustraiting at times, and a very rewarding feeling when something worked. Made me love tech again, 10/10 would do again.

Really threw yourself into the deep end there, nice. Hashtags team debian.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
