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.

I don’t know the Windows state currently, but at the time I switched, I liked the following.
- Linux is just a kernel. The user can choose between different components. You’ll see some hot discussions because of that. But user friendly distributions can do these choices for you.
- Linux is transparent. As an open source software its harder to harm user privacy.
