How do I download linux

• Tempest1981 10mo ago
  Yep. Top search result was this, amusing: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install But 2nd was this: https://www.linux.org/pages/download/ https://www.linux.org/pages/download/ It shows 24 distributions, but no newbie guidance. Maybe a wizard UI would help, vs the open-ended "Explore different Linux distributions and find the one that fits your needs"

  Looks like from https://github.com/torvalds/linux/archive/refs/heads/master.zip https://github.com/torvalds/linux/archive/refs/heads/master.... but you could also try Ubuntu.

  As your first experience, I think Ubuntu is the easiest. Download it here: https://ubuntu.com/desktop https://ubuntu.com/desktop Spring for a new hard drive, just in case you hate it with the fires of a thousand suns and need to go back. Then you just swap back to your old hard drive.

    I can also recommend Kubuntu if the gnome UI of ubuntu seems too phone-like. If using a laptop where addinga 2nd drive may be too difficult, I have just shrunk the windows partition before running the ubuntu installer.
