many beginners start with asking , why linux? Linux powers more of the world than most people realize. The servers behind Google, Amazon, and most of the internet? almost all of them run on Linux. Even the systems in space, supercomputers, and sometimes your Wi-Fi router — all are running some version of it beyond that, Linux gives you freedom. It’s free, open-source, and doesn’t come with the usual corporate baggage — no forced updates, no bloated software, no data collection behind your back (looking at you windows) and if you're into DevOps or smth, it's almost mandatory , here's my piece of advice if you're scared of breaking your device, start with a VM , something like virtualbox , VMware , qemu, hyperV etc, and use it as your daily driver using mainly terminal, you'll learn how to navigate through environment, learn a scripting language like Bash, and that's mostly it, just play with it, try to do stuff, break it , and build it again , after getting comfortable you can start with Networking, experimenting with different protocols , managing services running on it , hosting some of your own projects and stuff like that, that's mostly it , it's not hard but you need to give it some time (you can try ricing your distro, but don't get into ricing rabbithole i've been through it and trust me , it's not worth it ;-; ) NOTE : this is not a career advice, it's about using Linux as an operating system (daily driver)
