From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The hardest part will probably be the installation, but if you can follow a youtube guide you'll be fine. Go for a distro like PopOS or Fedora that have polished out of the box experiences.
Thanks. Also have to say, priapus used to be my account name across all social media for a while lol.
Haha, thats a fun coincidence. At some point Priapus became my go to for accounts I didn't want connected to my main online name.
