From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's bugged. kernel, wifi, dual screens and any others issues will became your daily routine if you install it. Stick with Debian if you want a really reliable distro while learning some basics linux commands, or stick with linux mint.
will take note! Actually using mint on a vm at the moment, trying to see if i can the desktop environment tho
good distro for beginners. Also i recommend using Arch's wiki, useful even if you dont use Arch, you can find it there : https://wiki.archlinux.org/
thannks
