I’ve been using Windows since the days of 3.1, practically my entire life. So I’m really comfortable with how windows operates and how to do the things that I want to do.

I’ve dabbled around with Linux over the years, but am now considering trying to make a full switch to it.

What are some resources to “learn” Linux properly? Such as understanding the filesystem, basic security practices, essential tools or commands, etc?

    Before I swapped to linux full-time, I used virtualbox to create test environments from various distros to see which one I liked best.

    After testing: EndeavorOS, Manjaro, PopOS, Nobara, Ubuntu, and openSuse
    I settled on Endeavor as my main driver and have been running it for over a year now. openSuse came close second for me, and Nobara was a distant last, I really did not like it. The important thing for me was to try several of them in a safe way that would let me experiment on if this was really something I wanted at all.
