I'm Not Much Of An Expert But Ive Been Daily Driving Linux For About 2 Years Or So, So Heres What Ive

i'm not much of an expert but ive been daily driving Linux for about 2 years or so, so heres what ive learned:

Since you seem to want a similar UI to windows most people will recommend Linux Mint ( https://linuxmint.com/ ) since it's one of the most user friendly while also looking similar to Windows.

If you want a slightly different but still intuitive feel I would also highly recommend Pop!_OS ( https://pop.system76.com/ ) especially if you have an Nvidia graphics card since it comes with pre-installed drivers (the stuff that makes the physical parts of ur pc function)

If you want to find more distrowatch.com is quite a good site, you can also look around the internet to see what users think.

The distro itself doesnt really matter in the GUI front since the desktop environment (the stuff that lets you have icons and do stuff with your mouse instead of just typing commands like MS DOS) will look mostly the same. The first distro I mentioned has Cinnamon, a desktop environment similar to Windows, but u could also opt for a version of Linux Mint with KDE for more customizability or XFCE if you're running it on a potato/want to maximize your performance.

Look for alternatives for some programs you already use on Windows. Yes you can still use their office suite in browser, but whats the point of switching to avoid spying if you're gonna keep using it? My personal pick for that is Libre Office, another popular one is OpenOffice. A tool to help you find alternatives is alternativeto.net , its not perfect but it should get the job done for most popular programs.

To address the elephant in the room: yes you will need to learn some commands, but its really not as intimidating as it might sound to some. Look up some beginner guides and get at least a little comfortable with it since it'll help you greatly in the future. You'll probably just end up using the terminal to do stuff like update and install programs most of the time, but you never know when you wanna tweak something more. If you don't know how to do something you can just do a quick search and find something on Reddit or a forum for whatever OS you end up picking.

Have fun and remember you're already many steps ahead of the majority just by having a drive to switch!

Hm. Well I suppose if I were to ask anywhere, tumblr wiuld be the place. Can anyone guide me through migrating to linux. Ive tried. I want windows without the spying and lack of rights. Yes I know thats not what Linux is meant to be. But I think its reasonable to want the ease of use the windows UI provides (7 my beloved) and the freedom of linux. Thanks <3
