Good to know. Thank you.

I’ll do more research and maybe go Fedora first if that’s a common problem

I’m a gamer and this is my concern. I have a prebuilt gaming laptop because I travel for work and wouldn’t be able to take a full gaming rig with me for fear of damage or total loss.

I want to build my own rig but never been in one place long enough to warrant it. Hopefully one day

Thank you. I’ll take a look at this.

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

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

This is how I feel about installing Linux. It never gives you a basic/easy install guide. It’s ways an r/restoftheowl situation

EDIT - A lot of these responses are proving my point. Very easy to understand instructions if you know computers and computer terms. Not so much if you don’t.

Also, people saying Linux is easier to install than Windows, totally forgetting that most people don’t install Windows, it comes pre-installed, so the comparison is irrelevant

2nd EDIT - For the record, took a test and it said to try OpenSuse, Kubuntu or Zorin OS.

Going to go for Zorin OS. So if anyone has a detailed beginner guide to installing this it would be much appreciated.
