Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

Hey everyone, right now, I’m mostly Mac-based. I also have an older PC, a Raspberry Pi, micro PC and a mac laptop.

Now that I’m retired and have more time on my hands, I really want to dive deep into Linux and break away from the monopoly.

I’ll definitely do my own research, but there’s so much information out there—it feels like drinking from a firehose. It’s overwhelming!

Do you have any tips or websites to help me get started, step by step? I know I’ll make plenty of mistakes along the way (that’s how ya learn), but I’d appreciate any advice you can share. Thanks!

There's so much out there because there's no one (or even just a few) right way(s) to proceed. Everyone is unique, and so there's are just as many paths to enlightenment. Just take a stab at whichever intro looks good to you, and if it doesn't work for you then move on to another - they'll all contribute to your knowledge even if they don't fully work for you.

Good advice. Thanks, mate!
