If you have always wanted to try Linux but feel overwhelmed by the complexity of switching to an unknown operating system, then keep reading
Have you tried to install Linux in the past only to get stuck with a broken system, eventually giving up and resorting back to your old Windows or macOS?
Or are you overwhelmed by which distribution to choose, using a terminal for the first time, or simply being able to perform the tasks you normally would on your old system?
It may take you weeks to adjust to the Linux filesystem, right? Wrong.
Linux is increasingly becoming more popular, with companies like Google, Facebook and IBM using Linux in one form or another. This is due to its superior privacy, reliability and security.
Fortune Business estimates that the Linux market will increase by 402% in the next 7 years, making now the best time to get started with Linux.
So if the mythical Linux learning curve is holding you back, don't let it. We call it a myth, because with the right step-by-step guidance, that is exactly what it is - a myth.
Just because you're a beginner, doesn't mean it should be hard.
In this book you will discover:
- The single biggest mistake a beginner can make, that can ruin your entire Linux experience, and how to avoid it - page 13
- How to install Linux step by step (with pictures) in less than 1 hour - page 21
- Why getting this simple command line symbol wrong could force you to repair your Linux system - page 45
- How to make Linux look and function more like good old familiar Windows or macOS - page 45
- What the best distribution is for an experienced Windows user, but who has never used Linux before - page 16
- How to find and install apps that work with your specific distribution - page 183
- What to do when your Linux system freezes, crashes or has unexpected errors - page 215
- How to avoid using the command line to navigate the Linux filesystem, and what we use instead - page 62
- A core aspect that Linux runs on, and how mastering it can take your Linux experience to a whole new level - page 75
- Why programmers prefer Linux over Windows and macOS, and how Linux can help you become a better programmer - page 67
- How to create partitions and mount the correct filesystem for your needs - page 141
- A difference between Linux and Windows that you can exploit to potentially save you gigabytes of space - page 169
- Where to look for help when you're feeling stuck and getting nowhere - page 221
- The areas of your system that are vulnerable to attack, and how to protect yourself from threats - page 197
- Why a beginner should not be using Ubuntu and what to use instead - page 15
…and much, much more!
Most beginners think it is vastly more complicated to start using Linux than it really is.
In fact, if you can copy files and browse the internet on your existing system, you can successfully install and use Linux.
So if you want to get started with Linux without all the frustration other beginners face, then scroll up and click "add to cart".
