How To Install Linux For Dummies

So you're tired of windows? Here's a small remedy for you computer users.

You'll need:

• USB Thumb Drive. (5 GB or over recommended, preferably 15 GB)
• Linux ISO of your choice.
• An older machine or a solid state boot drive. (200GB or over preferred.)

(I do not recommend using a Hard Disk Drive due to it can easily degrade and get really slow over time. Don’t blame the CPU for your stupidity.)

Make sure you flash your ISO of your chosen Linux distrobution, I personally prefer Arch Linux with Hyprland or Fedora Workstation with GNOME, but the most recommended Linux distro for beginners is Linux Mint.

Restart your computer and access BIOS or "Boot Options". Do what your specific motherboard brand does to boot into other media, then boot into your Linux USB. Follow Installation instructions related to your Linux ISO of choice. Then you're finished!
