Abaafe's introduction to linux: what you need on your PC to practice Linux
To start learning Linux on your computer, you don’t need much besides the basic hardware. Here’s a general guide on what you might find useful:
Computer System:
A desktop or laptop computer that meets the minimum requirements is fine.
Linux Distribution (Distro): Choose a Linux distribution suited for beginners. CentOS7 08 or RHEL8 0r 9 is fine
Software like VirtualBox or VMware allows you to install Linux on a virtual machine within your current operating system. This way, you can experiment without affecting your primary system.
Patience and Persistence: Learning a new operating system, especially one as versatile as Linux, takes time and practice. Don’t be discouraged.
Start by installing your chosen distribution on your computer or in a virtual environment.
