Re: [LINUX_Newbies] New to Linux

 

The big difference is that Windows comes preinstalled. Linux usually does not. Aside from that anyone can run Linux as an operating system without touching the command line. You can go deeper to gain more control and understanding but that is optional. The vast majority of Linux users are not programmers and know no computer languages.

Where to start? Test drive a Linux distribution and then try installing it. You download an ISO and burn a CD/ DVD or install it to a USB stick. Run it from there for awhile. Most Linux distributions are Live, meaning they will run from the install media almost as if it is installed. It will be slower and you can't add to it until you install it.

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


thanks
