Linux Mint has a full install guide that goes into detail on every point with the click-through links. They are a real good source for people who haven’t done this before.
My suggestion to people is to install Linux on a computer you don’t use every day (old laptop, etc) and during installation have it be the only OS (ie, not dual boot with Windows). After awhile when you feel more comfortable, install it on your main machine. This lets you learn at whatever pace you desire.
And this is what I plan to do with my old gaming laptop. Do a trial run of Zorin OS, work out all the issues and then do install it on my new one and finally be rid of microslop
Heads up, my partner tried Zorin OS for gaming, at the suggestion of distrochooser.de, and did not have a good time. He switched to Fedora and everything was nearly seamless after that.
I understand it. My original point was that most guides don’t explain it.
Also, the guide were responding to says ‘download iso’. If you google ‘ISO’ it does not come up with anything to do with Linux. Which proves my point that most guides are not helpful for beginners
This is literally my point.
I don’t know how to do a lot of these things and usually the guide doesn’t explain these points.
If it’s labeled ‘beginners guide’ it should explain how to do all these extra steps

Thank you. I’ll take a look at this.

Good to know. Thank you.
I’ll do more research and maybe go Fedora first if that’s a common problem
Which parts do you not understand? I can expand on those points if needed.
