Interested in learning more - eviltoast

Hello. I’ve been a window user from win95. I’d like to learn more about Linux but don’t know where to start. I had a brief intro when I was in highschool and recently I’ve been seeing more and more talk here on Lemmy. Mostly memes.

With how bad Google is finding good information unless I add -reddit to my search. Which I won’t do. Trying to stay away from that.

What can I expect to find as a casual observer? Why does Linux do that’s “better” than Windows? That’s not meant to inflame anyone. More so what do you personally like better.

    I don’t use Linux at the moment, but one of the things I miss most is the lack of bloatware. It’s so refreshing to have just the applications you need, not some weird thing running in the background eating up your RAM.

    It’s hard to say what would change the most for you, as it depends a lot on what you do. I recommend installing it as a secondary OS and trying it out to see if you like it.

    One of the great things about Linux is that you can find almost any information you need on the Internet, so it’s pretty easy to learn how to use if you’re more or less technically inclined and like to research solutions online.
