    https://www.pcworld.com/article/2918397/how-to-get-started-with-linux-a-beginners-guide.html Starting with a live USB from which you can boot Ubuntu is how I got started. A live USB allows you to use Ubuntu without having to install it to your hard drive. You can look up things you don’t understand using the pre-installed Firefox. ArchWiki and just looking stuff up on internet in general is how I slowly got to learn how to use GNU/Linux.

    Specifically I recommend

    1. downloading an ISO file from Ubuntu’s official website
    2. using http://rufus.ie to copy that Ubuntu ISO onto a USB stick
    3. rebooting your computer and figuring out how to boot from USB (this is different for each computer, use duckduckgo to look it up)

    Alternatively you can use VirtualBox to mess around with a “virtual machine” (a fake computer inside of your computer) and install Ubuntu on there.
