I installed Linux on a raspberry pi recently (first time using Linux in 15+ years), and in addition to reading stuff on Lemmy, I found that this is a really good use case for chatgpt or similar LLMs.
I was able to get chatgpt to explain stuff to me, ask it to dumb it down further, provide examples, correct my incorrect assumptions, etc.
I’d consider switching if somebody spoonfed me into being able to use/know it’s basics.
I am currently way too overstimulated with switching to privacy-focused and less (US-)corpo-reigned alternatives (like lemmy instead of reddit)
I have 15 years of experience and am willing to do infinite of that on matrix.

I’ll second recommending Raspberry Pi as a secondary machine. That way your primary computer is still around as a fallback.
If you have a spare monitor to add, a Raspberry Pi 400 for $100.00 is a great way to try out Linux on dedicated hardware.
The Canakit version even comes with a printed welcome guide.
