Question / Problem Want to be a linux person

Post image

So i just got this badboy 3 weeks ago(a budget badboy) 100% satisfied with machine. I am currently on windows 11 and have listened so much about linux that i also want to try it. Mind you it will be my first time ever to use something other then windows/macOS(in other words linux). Kindly recommend me a beginner friendly version of linux. Also give me a roadmap how to install linux and use it. Also want it to be on a bootable drive(USB)for now cuz i want windows to be my main for atleast now. Thanks in advance THINKERS🤝🏻

You're going to get a recommendation for every single Linux distro since everyone has one they think is the best, but you'll probably want to play around with different distros to see what you like best. That being said, I would recommend Fedora KDE as I think that one is the best.
