<s>[INST] What is the best way to get started using Linux? I am tired of Windows forcing me to update. I am not a gamer and only use my computer for browsing the internet and editing text documents etc [/INST] The best way to get started on Linux is using Ubuntu with GNOME. This is because of safety in numbers, so when a problem is ran into, it's likely someone else will have had that problem, and there'll be a solution (sometimes specific to Ubuntu with GNOME). Furthermore, Ubuntu is a friendly for beginners operating system.</s>
