I think I'm going to start using Linux.

[Johnathan Smikey Johnathan Smikey]

Just an FYI: You should look forward to using the Terminal. Trust me, it may look scary, but that terminal lets you do a LOT, and extremely fast.

Imagine Linux like an old computer from the 80's. Like an advanced Commodore 64. It looks scary at first, but once you start learning commands, and you start to get in the rhythm of it, you will find it better & faster to use than any UI element.

Also, if you plan on using the text editor "Vim", the code to exit without saving is ":q!". Though, I recommend on using "MSEDIT" if you are new and to only experiment with Vim a little bit until you can do basic things with it.

When I first tried Linux I was scared of the terminal at first but when I started to want to learn it I eventually got accustomed to it. Terminal is just a lot easier way to do tasks on. If you're tired of having to just download applications and going to each site directly to get the download then install it. Then the terminal can make that less of a burden and more of a single command and hitting yes then you're done.

Linux has some good points but a lot of basic shit is literally broken. Linux is for people who like constantly tinkering with their PC because that's what you'll be doing a lot of the time.

Só para você saber: prepare-se para usar o Terminal. Confie em mim, pode parecer assustador, mas esse terminal permite fazer MUITA coisa, e extremamente rápido.

Imagine o Linux como um computador antigo dos anos 80. Como um Commodore 64 avançado. Pode parecer assustador no início, mas assim que você começar a aprender os comandos e pegar o jeito, vai descobrir que é melhor e mais rápido de usar do que qualquer interface gráfica.

Além disso, se você pretende usar o editor de texto "Vim", o código para sair sem salvar é ":q!". No entanto, recomendo usar o "MSEdit" se você for iniciante e experimentar o Vim apenas um pouco até conseguir fazer o básico.

UEI'm going to use the standard Linux distribution from my work, which is when I'm entering the world of computing.

That was the case when I first used it over a decade ago for sure, but it has come a long way since then. Once you get it set up in particular, things really tend to be smooth sailing in my experience (and the friends I've seen switch recently seem to agree)

 

[Lod 10]

Isso certamente acontecia quando usei pela primeira vez, há mais de uma década, mas evoluiu bastante desde então. Depois de configurado corretamente, tudo tende a funcionar sem problemas, na minha experiência (e os amigos que vi migrar recentemente parecem concordar).

UEI just want to switch to Linux so I can work on my game system programming.

(O que significa UEI?)

I just wanted to start using Linux so I could do some programming, but I'm kind of bad at writing—I mean, I don't know how to write properly.

I also want to start using Linux.
But there is a lot of distros, and i need a user friendly one.

I will just add my voice to rest:

Mint

Is a good distro and good to use, from what I have heard.
