I've been messing around on PC since the Counterstrike days in highschool. For gaming i never owned a console, was always into custom PC. I always enjoy learning new things regarding research, new hardware.
On GAW I have learned how to archive, meme, scrutinize more strictly and find better primary sources among many other things. I would like to learn more from my brethren here.
I will share a few. Keyboard shortcut basics:

We are all thirsty for knowledge!
Well, there are a lot of versions of linux that are very user friendly now as compared to years ago. Most of the current debian versions are out of the box easy to use. Even fedora which is redhat based, is easy to use. You do not need to know the command line to get started immediately, or have to use vim(nano sucks). You do not need to compile drivers and tweak them as we had to many years ago, most every device now will run on linux. I always suggest people try and get away from windows, there is an open source version of most every piece of software you use, it might not always look as "polished" as something from windows world but it will do what you need, and in some cases will do more than you were expecting. You can customize most of the various GUIs very easily. You can make your installation your own.
Linux is also much more secure, thought it is not 100% secure. The only 100% secure computer is one that is unplugged and locked in a closet. It's super stable, there is a BSD machine sitting in Berkeley that hasn't been rebooted for a couple of decades at last I heard. Yes once in a while you will get an issue, the ubuntu 22.04 upgrade tanked one of my test boxes, and I have had to do a few kernel roll backs at work but nothing is perfect.
Give linux a try, you can run it as a live OS without installing, just burn to a disk or usb and see what it has to offer.
sauce: me, been using linux/bsd for 25yrs for work.
