To get started, you need to choose a distribution or distro. You noticed I used the word distro or distribution frequently already. Let's briefly discuss the basics of the many different Linux distributions. An individual or team created each Linux distro to solve a problem, so let's consider solving the problem of moving from Windows to Linux. These include gaming, servers, networking, diagnostics, hacking, anonymity, software selection, older hardware, and, yes, much more. We can easily eliminate the majority of Linux builds based on their purpose. I can take a short test drive, provide a screenshot, and give you my opinion - as a Windows user. I am in no position to write a full-blown Linux review of any distro. I'm going in blind, simply choosing distributions that promise to make life easy for Windows users and are recommended by Linux users. Yet, I don't remember the last time (over 10 years) I used Linux, which makes me uniquely suited to recommend a distribution. Still, I have one advantage - I've been a Windows user for about 30 years, even running a well-known Windows download and help site. You may have read other tutorials recommending which Linux distro you should try. TIP: Hard to fix Windows Problems? Repair/Restore Missing Windows OS Files Damaged by Malware with a few clicks
