Welcome to /fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.


There are two ways to try Linux, you can install a Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes", you can also try the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a full Linux experience.
Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share their experiences.


If you are serious about switching to Linux and if you have Windows dual-booted (recommended for pure newbies), use it exclusively for 2 weeks, avoid Windows dual booting for that period of time, or it's likely you will start retreating back to windows instead of getting used to Linux as your new home and working on making it feel the way you want it.
