Although its just another OS, linux does have a major learning curve for the common GUI enjoyer like me.

When you all were first learning linux, did you have a specific resource you learned from? Was it more like doing projects and learning on the way through forums?

On and off starting from 2020 I've been using Linux. It was challenging at first, but I began with one of the easy distros like Linux Mint and Kubuntu. I've tried many more and soon enough, I will return to dual booting and using Linux. openSUSE Tumbleweed is literally perfect for my needs.

The terminal isn't so challenging. All I gotta remember to do is sudo zypper dup to update the distro every week and zypper handles the rest and has dependencies handled well. I've tried Arch Linux but I don't enjoy it merely because you have to read the news, manually adjust packages in case something breaks and its bloated once you factor in all the packages you need. The AUR is a blessing and a curse.
