With the new computer and the newer Microsoft Windows updates they have really jam packed their OS with bloat and spyware. That being said I have no idea what I’m doing with Linux, need help with where to start.? What are some general tips? I understand there’s a lot of prebuilt Linux distributions or something what are some first timer friendly ones? Really any help is appreciated because the biggest barrier to entry is the perceived difficulty of actually doing it.

    True, but then it’s complicated to install anything that’s not available through a Flatpak, and a lot of online guides don’t work. I love immutable distros (I use one myself), but I think they’re best for either advanced users who can work around the quirks or basic users who only need the web browser and a few Flatpak apps.
