As with my response to @palordrolap, I woke up at 4am, having gone to bed at just past midnight, and had several beers after a tough shift, then assumed (obviously incorrectly) that I knew what I was talking about. Sorry for my error.
Key pad…ffs…of course! I’m literally facepalming right now. I had thought Key press. That’s what I get for working a long day with little sleep, then drinking several beers and thinking I should comment on things I don’t know much about.
Edit: Everything I said here was wrong.
In it’s stead have a really bad poem.
Roses are red,
My chair is blue and white stripey,
There’s not really a rhyming scheme,
And stuff.
No one can dictate what tickles your fancy and ticks your boxes bud. If you’re into debian, that’s cool by me. Not my jam personally, but wtf does my opinion matter?
Heard something about a windows update that made it not show as windows

9·1 year agoAlright folks, I want to see a nice orderly queue. Pitchforks are at station one, sign one out with either Mandy or Greg(wave to the folks, guys). Station two is where you can pick up a torch. Jeff and Kenny will help you out over at station two. After getting your torch and pitchfork, please proceed to the staging area, Steph will get you all in position, and get your torches lit.
Alright guys! Enjoy your rabid mob!

You should dual boot, or get a live USB of a Linux distro now, and acclimatise to the way things are done in Linux.
There’s a lot of things that still need to be done through the CLI. Luckily documentation for Linux is one of it’s strong points.
I’m older than you guys, late 30s, my first pc was an old DOS machine with a black and amber monitor. I found the switch to Linux really easy, and I’m pretty sure the fact I started with a CLI(Command Line Interface) helped.
Like you said, read the docs.
I would add that you should start by trying to do as much as you can from CLI. There’s some things, on some/most distros, that just can’t be done through the GUI.The faster you get comfortable with the CLI the easier your transition will be.
That said, the distros coming out now are a load more noob friendly than when I started fiddling with Linux, and the number of things you 100% need to do through CLI has shrunk significantly.
I made this lemmy.ca account today because the admins stated specifically that they will defed and block meta. I moved from a larger instance, but that account only had a month and a bit of history to it, and I have no issue just closing up shop there.
