Best book to learn Linux
by mrmagoolew from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6JXPE)
Hi, folks,
I'm a complete newbie to Linux that wants to learn how to have a good understanding of Linux before I move away from Windows. Can anyone recommend a good book with easy to learn Linux. I'm 70 years old and don't know anything about it. I'm using an old Asus computer and have added an extra 4 port USB port to the back. I started on this computer about 5 1/2 months ago and had to stop because of family health issues, and I think I have it messed up enough right now. I don't even know where to begin. I THINK I may have about 4 distributions on it now that I want to get rid of but can't even figure out how to do that. Geek Squad is useless. They can't help me. I want to install Linux Mint Cinnamon on it but the computer has so much on it and I don't know where to start. I Think I'm going to have to take it somewhere to have someone look at it. I'm sick of Windows though and I've been told that I'll have to pay to use Windows in about 2 years. That's a double whammy against them. Any suggestions, folks?
Thanks in advance, Lew.
