Thank you for this statement. I fear I will be in the needy category soon.
Realistically, how steep is the learning curve and how daunting are the roadblocks for someone who has relatively little patience for computer tinkering?
I'm willing to put a reasonable amount of time towards set-up, but how time consuming will the maintenance be?
Also, I worry about compatibility with common software, such as Quicken.
Can someone recommend a comprehensive set of tutorials that aren't spattered with jargon, acronyms, and initialisms (my pet peeve)? I don't even know what a "distro" is.
I detest the trajectory #Spycrosoft is following, and I worry that others, such as myself, will be stuck using their products due to the high hurdle of switching to Linux.
Then again, everybody said "Mastodon is too complicated," and I didn't find that to be the case at all.
