Welcome and no programming is needed. I show folks various Linux Live CDs and DVDs depending on their computers, whether they are 32-bit or 64-bit based CPUs. Distrowatch.com has a list starting with Mint. Unlike Windows, Linux has various looks: Gnome, KDE, Mate, LXDE and Xfce, plus others. There are screenshots and reviews under each Distro.
There are various free Linux Mags, newsletters, books, plus videos that show you more about various Distros. What do plan on doing with your computer? There are some lists which show what Linux programs are somewhat the equal to known Windows programs. Some Windows programs may run under Linux Wine, etc. Then there are running Linux in a virtual OS, or Windows on Linux as virtual OS. Some boot multiple Distros, with or without Windows. Others swap out hard drives or use USB installs.

How and where do I start? I have NO computer programming experience. Been running Windows since 95. Is programming experience required?
thanks
