I suspect they mean the only person with any kind of "scientific" presentation, and everything after that has been a game of telephone amongst the anti-vax crowd.

Just seconding Plainly Difficult, and Mentour Pilot. Also, I think Kyle Hill's series on nuclear "disasters" is pretty good. It's called "Half-life Histories."

I really appreciate all the answers here so far. But I wanted to thank you for that resource specifically. Maybe my googling isn't so great either, but I haven't come across that before. Much obliged.

 

This is my third attempt. Partly to rage quit Windows, and partly to gain utility and control with some professional AV software.

I have converted an old Asus netbook to Ubuntu netbook remix and used it for a while. I was impressed with how much better that tiny thing ran with Linux than Windows. But in the end it still had less power than a TI-84. So I stopped using it, and never really learned Linux proper.

I dual boot my Chromebook, so I can use gimp for photos on vacation, but everything I do with the Linux partition is cut and paste from articles by people who know what they're doing. (I was motivated to post here by a meme about that.)

I'm thinking of dual booting my main desktop, because I need Windows for some fairly processor intense A/V software I use for work. So what would be a good distro to look into for a novice and where should I look for a tutorial? I would ultimately like to see if I can use Linux to run my AV software in emulation and add drivers for some professional audio interfaces. I'm fed up with windows and trying to see how far I can get without it. Your help is appreciated in advance, and if this is inappropriate for this topic, let me know and I'll delete it.
