North Dakota | I have been using Mint Linux for maybe 5-6 years on one computer at home. Have used various flavors for more than 20 years.
You can download to a windows computer and make a boot-able flash drive and try it from there. Only problem is it will be pretty slow. There is a method to install Linux alongside windows in a dual boot install. Then you can start with either version.
What I am currently using is am older computer that was a discard from work. Maybe 5-6 years old at the time. On my third one now. I just install a clean version with the non-free codecs so I am able to watch videos and transfer old VHS tapes to digital. The install process is pretty painless and goes quick.
One thing about Linux is it is not as polished as Windows or Apple and does not have thousands of apps but you can find serviceable apps for most anything you want. You can also run a version of Windows called Wine. | |
