[15:13]	schestowitz[TR2]	                                        <p>There has been quite a surge in interest towards desktop Linux lately. The userbase, atleast according to some metrics, seems to be climbing. </p>
[15:13]	schestowitz[TR2]	                                        <p> I realised today that it's been 4 years for me since I did the switch. I have gathered some know-how that maybe a complete newbie could find useful. I also try to untangle some jargon I've learned: It may not be exactly technically correct, but this is meant for a more regular user anyway. </p>
[15:13]	schestowitz[TR2]	                                        <p> Note: Do not trust "AI" tools when looking for information. They can lie. They don't really "know" anything, they just copy what they see on the internet, and spit it out. Sometimes in wrong orders and contexts. I will list some resources I trust at the end of the post. </p>
