    If your goal is to run Linux, do some normal desktop stuff, and try some games, you will do no programming.

    There’s a good chance you won’t need the command line either (at first, anyway).

    Linux is a very deep lake, but you don’t need to buy scuba gear and learn underwater welding if you’re just looking to spend a sunny day at the beach.

    Pop!_OS is a great place to start. I suggest just getting the ISO and having a go. If you need help, start by reading the official guide:

    I always suggest starting with the official documentation. If you ask people on forums, it’s hard to tell who is a beach-goer, and who spends their days in scuba gear salvaging sunken ships.
