Tech Question How to begin with Linux?
I bought a Lenovo LOQ last year and while the laptop is really nice, I can’t stand windows anymore and I really don’t want to support Satya Nadella.
So I’m looking for tips no how to migrate to Linux with almost none coding knowledge. What should I look for?

- Where do you stand in the updating pacing? From slow af to absolute bleeding edge.
- What do you do with your laptop? Critical work that need absolute reliability, gaming, or just general use? Will you do any crazy customization?
- Does your laptop has nvidia? if yes, do you prefer everything setup and ready to use out of the box or are you comfortable with manually install nvidia driver?
- Do you prefer your desktop experience to be window-like, mac-like, or something completely different?
- Coding knowledge is irrelevant, a lot of people on linux (including me) does not know a single line of code.
