I’m over 50 and all I know about Linux is it’s mascot is a penguin and I think it has something to do with programming. But I’m trying to learn, do new things, and reinvent myself. Where/how should I go about learning? Or at this stage, should I even bother? I do want to learn, tho
Hi, I’m over 65 and I’ve just dumped Win and MacOS for Linux Mint Cinnamon. Not ever going back. So, yes you should bother definitely. As other posts says, decide on a distro, find the relevant forum, join and ask questions. I tried Mint Cinnamon, XFCE, and also Gnome. The Mints are most like Windows, Gnome is a bit different. My point is once you’ve got your head round doing the SHA256 checksum malarkey and installed it, check it out, install what you need. If it runs it great. Or try a few, it’s a great thing to learn. Personally, I find it’s fantastic to get away from the tricks and all round ensh*ttification of the Win/Mac worlds. As Nike say ‘Just Do It’. 😁
