From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oh my thats an issue. I don't know anyone who uses linux. In my country everyone just has pirated windows as I do. Thanks for the warning.
Create a linux mint install USB. When you boot from it, you'll be in a fully functional linux OS, without installing anything. This way you can try it out before making a commitment.
Although a recurring recommendation is to install linux on a second PC to try it for a while.
This sounds good. Thanks
It doesn't have to be someone who knows Linux, you just need to be able to get back to a working computer. If it means going back to Windows until you know more, that's fine, just keep learning :)
Are you sure about that? Most countries around the world have a Linux user group of some sort. Find out what your local group is called, get in touch and I'm sure you'll be able to find someone who'll be more than happy to help.
