People are spoiled nowadays. Computers used to come with a set of books. When I started with GNU+Linux 20 years ago, I read Running Linux 2nd edition back to back. GNU+Linux worked just fine back then, and it still does now. KDE was already a thing. To start with computers, I'd recommend the GNU Manifesto. Free software is important. These days, anyone using a computer without a FLOSS operating system on it is just ignorant. There's been TV ads. CDs by mail were free. There are magazines. Arch has a wiki. And to those who are willing to make their computer work for them again: welcome to the FLOSS community. Hope you enjoy it!
