- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of

Boot the laptop from a USB memory stick that has a Linux installer on it.
Okay I try that. Where do I find Linux to download?
Linux mint is the most agreed upon dstro for newbies. You can find it in here: https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=311
You can follow the official guide to help with installation: https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/burn.html
There are also a lot of tutorials online, and if needed, you can come to the linux communities on lemmy for help
Thank you so much. Truly appreciate this information.
