Spend more time knowing how Linux works, and make it work with your workflow (scripts, Cron jobs, shorten complex commands to aliases, and more that'll come to you).
That already done, get to doing some actual work.

Avoid theming like a madman. Ricing is cool, till you install this seemingly harmless widget/extension that'll cause you issues like a memory leak, which leads to freezing, makes you do a clean reinstall because you don't have a backup via Timeshift, and uninstalling the offending widget didn't change anything (true story).

Other than that, here are some tips;
Get Timeshift (backup your data, it doesn't extend to files stored)
Avoid updating your packages/system the moment an update drops, even if it's a kernel update (6.4.* freezing on AMD CPUs, 6.4.9 fixed it for some). Wait for others to review before doing so.

Not an expert per se, but here ya go.


No "best" distro, each got their own specific use.


Ubuntu for beginners. There are other derivatives based on different desktop environments like K(DE)ubuntu and L(XDE)ubuntu.



I appreciate this !
I will download a VM before going for Ubuntu.
Although I use a dell vostro 5550 core i5.
Leave Debian for now. It's not the distro you want to start with as a beginner, given your skepticism.


Get a USB stick, flash it with Ventoy or Rufus (I prefer Ventoy). Boot into UEFI or BIOS, change the boot sequence to start with USB, guides already covers this.


Yes and yes if it's Ubuntu, else use a VM for any other distro like Debian. But still, let Debian be for now.


Some distro (emphasis on some) have this feature, where you either "test" it without doing the full installation to see what works or just install without testing. Ubuntu guides will have them installing without testing, quite normal.


Both have its perks, though I prefer to have it on my main system.
With VM, you can experiment without nuking your system, amongst other reasons, though it has its drawbacks if you're using an average PC or worse, a potato.

For me, I keep a VM to test new things out for different distros and learning purposes, plus I can kamikaze the distro configs without worrying about nuking my system.

Since you're skeptical, best you do everything in a VM first before installing on your main system.
