If you know absolute dick about Linux then Debian would be your last choice for a first time experience

>>61347952
thanks anon, anything to narrow down the haystack

>>61347972
My recommendations would be Linux Mint, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, or Elementary OS.

>>61347809

1. borrow someone elses computer
2. use rufus to make a bootable usb for the linux distro of your choosing
3. ?????
4. PROFIT

dumb frogposter

>>61347952

debian is the best entry level distro, even better than ubuntu since it's debian based and has its own needless shit added to it

>1. borrow someone elses computer

mfw there are users on an Ethiopian archeology subreddit who don't have at least 2 extra functional computers laying around at all times for this very reason.

Install Manjaro so you can get on the Arch train early and fit in with /g/

>>61348085
yeah way back when the installer was exclusively commandline and there was no GUI installer. Debian is as easy as installing any other linux OS nowadays, get with the times grandpa.

>>61348085
RHEL actually has a pretty good installer, too.
Anaconda is probably the best out there.

But of course it's hard to get easy mode software on anything Redhat rpm based...

>need a computer to boot OS on your computer
this is retarded, I miss optical drives

>>61348598
ALWAYS carry a liveCD.

>>61347952
Nah that's not true. Knew even less than dick about Linux and I did totally fine starting with Debian. Just watch a video on bash then Google everything else as it comes up.

>>61347809
want a windows 10 key anon?

>>61348343
You can even use drivedroid if you have an android phone, it is really not difficult.

>>61347809
How is this an issue. Boot up some sort of linux CD/USB. As long as you can access BIOS, this shouldn't be an issue.

>>61347809
Return it. 410 a shit. Get a 420 or better.
