I'm thinking about Linux but....HELP

As a Linux Reddit user i come along many questions from people who heard the name Linux and are eager to try, but where to start ? linux4noobs Linux 1 what distro should i use 2 what desktop should i use 3 i have this old laptop.... and so on. First things first, you are the one who want's to start using Linux, asking others is a way to get information but it's often biased to what "they like" instead of what "you like" or need. The first thing i think you should do i get a decent usb stick, lets say 125 gb to create a live drive in order to test drive several distro's. Look for what you like, how does it feel, is it comfortable (do keep in mind the usb is slower), doe it have enough options. Before you start harvesting all available distro's, i advice you to take a look at Distrowatch where you can find quite some information already. Next, check the specifications of your computer / laptop, write them down and see what the distro's you're ...
