Hello. I’ve been a window user from win95. I’d like to learn more about Linux but don’t know where to start. I had a brief intro when I was in highschool and recently I’ve been seeing more and more talk here on Lemmy. Mostly memes.

With how bad Google is finding good information unless I add -reddit to my search. Which I won’t do. Trying to stay away from that.

What can I expect to find as a casual observer? Why does Linux do that’s “better” than Windows? That’s not meant to inflame anyone. More so what do you personally like better.

    What I like with Linux:

    • no restart behing my back to force install updates when I have pending work
    • no bloat
    • customizable (win11 forcing to having windows of same app groupped grinds my gears!)

    Though, it’s not perfect (I guess I have slight hardware issues on my end), I feel way more relaxed (really) when using Linux than Windows.
