Linux already dominates the mobile space--via Android--as well as the cloud and high performance computing, but it's still worth pointing out.
There's no end in sight to Linux's strength in these areas.
so we need to know some basic things about Linux before going to use it as our primary os...
let's see a beginner's guide for new linux users..
The world of Linux is ready to welcome you, with a shower of free
open-source software you can use on any PC: hundreds of active Linux
distributions, and dozens of different desktop environments you could
run on them. It's a far cry from the one-size-fits-all,
this-is-just-what-comes-with-your-PC vision of Windows.
Everything from software installation to hardware drivers works differently on Linux, though, which can be daunting. Take heart--you don't even need to install Linux on your PC to get started. Here's everything you need to know.
Choose and download a Linux distro
The first step is choosing the Linux distribution you'll want to use.
Unlike Windows, there's no single version of Linux. Linux distributions
take the Linux kernel and combine it with other software like the GNU
core utilities, X.org graphical server, a desktop environment, web
browser, and more. Each distribution unites some combination of these
elements into a single operating system you can install.
DistroWatch offers a good, in-depth summary
of all the major Linux distributions you might want to try. Ubuntu is a
fine place to start for former (or curious) Windows users. Ubuntu
strives to eliminate many of Linux's rougher edges. Many Linux users now
prefer Linux Mint, which ships with either the Cinnamon or MATE
desktops--both are a bit more traditional than Ubuntu's Unity desktop.
Choosing the single best isn't your first priority, though. Just choose a fairly popular one like Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, or openSUSE. Head to the Linux distribution's website and download the ISO disc image you'll need. Yes, it's free.
That's the way it'll work on a typical Windows PC, anyway. If you want to use Linux on a Chromebook, Raspberry Pi, or another type of device, there are special instructions you'll need to follow.
We'll do it live!
Now you'll need to boot that Linux system. Restart your computer with
the disc or USB drive inserted and it should automatically boot. If it
doesn't, you may need to change your BIOS or UEFI firmware boot order, or select a boot device during the boot process.
On modern Windows PCs that came with Windows 8, you may have to disable Secure Boot before booting Linux. Some Linux distributions will boot normally with Secure Boot enabled, while some won't. Most of the larger distributions will....
