Hey it’s me, the guy that posted here a couple weeks ago asking for bare minimum concepts new Linux users should understand. I really appreciate the responses I got last time, and now I’m back with my first draft! It’s not 100% complete, but I’d love some feedback from the Linux community, let me know if there’s anything I missed or that you think should be covered that I didn’t yet talk about. It is a bit of a long read, but there’s a lot to cover.
This will eventually be published as a permanent article on the site it is currently published on, as well as a video essay in the style of my other videos. I want it to be a resource for people to share with others making the switch and I’d like for it to be relatively future proof for a good while at least. Please let me know if there’s anything I should tweak, cover a little more in depth, add or remove, etc. I’d love the input!
I appreciate the input, thanks for reading!
The goal of this script is really just to act as a jumping off point for anyone trying to figure out what to do or where to go after the end of Windows 10, or people just barely starting to get into Linux for the first time. I’ve also only been pretty consistently in the Linux space for about a year, and I wanted to write something that would answer a lot of the questions that I had and things I had a hard time understanding initially, and explain them in a simple to understand way.
It’s not supposed to be an incredibly in depth guide and I hope I didn’t really frame it that way, I really just want it to be a starting point to build more knowledge off of, a gateway into the greater Linux community. My main goal is just to make Linux accessible without scarinf people off with the inner workings and complex parts, while still encouraging people to learn about those things if they’d like to.
I’m thinking that if I tell things from my own experience as a pretty average computer user, it can help other pretty average computer users see it as a viable option, and I’ve been told by some others I’ve had read through it that it’s been very helpful for them.
