im basically linux retarded. i have no idea how to use it. i barely know how to really use windows. don't get me wrong, i can do the things i need to, but not ready, like most people to move to the next level of computing, linux.
Linux truly is better for a lot of reasons, but it is significantly more difficult. This is why most consumers use Windows and Apple, the amount of user friendliness drives it. Once you become accustomed to using Linux, I'm sure it is very easy to use. I'd like to (like the OP) learn to use it, in fact I have an extra PC with Linux on it, but I'm confused on how to use it. Im looking at TrueNAC or whatever it's called to turn this extra pc into a server. If anyone has info, please drop a link for a smooth brained trumplican, I'd be very grateful!
The modern Linux distro's look a lot like windows 7.
Menu within applications follows the same structure.
For all the usual stuff, no real knowledge of Linux is needed. Left click right click. Same thing.
Most of the applications are contained in aptitude, you might call that the app-store. Select install done.
Bluetooth works out of the box,
That said, try to learn one thing every week. Archlinux has the best source material topically. Askubuntu has the best question driven solutions ( they often link to arch)
And hooking up Android to Linux is faillrly easy.
And maybe, in time, you'll find that the command line no longer holds secrets.

Then you are surely the exact person for Linux.

Mastering your tools is quite empowering.
Thanks, I will have to give it a go!
