Thinking of changing functional system; Tired of Windows and want to try Linux? As with any small or big change, it is very normal to be hesitant and afraid of an unfamiliar environment. You may even have tried it in the past, but the attempted installation ended in disaster.
Below we will see how you can minimize the risks.
Η εγκατάσταση του Linux δεν είναι πια τόσο δύσκολη όσο νομίζετε. Στην πραγματικότητα, εφ ‘όσον έχετε επιλέξει μια διανομή (για αρχάριους users) που σας ενδιαφέρει η εγκατάσταση του Linux θα κυλήσει πολύ ομαλά. Ας δούμε ποιες διανομές δεν θα σας παρουσιάσουν προβλήματα.
Initially to choose the distribution and Desktop Environment that works best for you, you can do it with a live DVD/USB. Below are four distributions that look like Windows and will install without much trouble.
Ubuntu
One of the most popular distributions: Linux for the masses. The functional Canonical offers an easy UI management, and relatively easy installation. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is currently running.
For:
Great community that is ready to answer any of your questions.
Τεράστια βάση data με προβλήματα-λύσεις
Direct out of the box support for driver installation.
Against:
The Canonical announced this year the data collection via telemetry
Corporate partnership with Amazon to show ads
Mint
The main rival for Ubuntu for many. Linux Mint has a similar easy installation and is based on Ubuntu, but it has it and a version which uses Debian as a base. Mint's experience is different from Ubuntu, but it's very simple to get used to.
For:
Huge database with problems-solutions since distribution is based on Ubuntu
Direct out of the box support for driver installation.
It has an excellent installation guide
Against:
In the past there has been one serious security problem on their distribution servers iso. The archives εγκατάστασης αντικαταστάθηκαν από τους hackers, με άλλα κακόβουλα.
Since then, something similar has not been announced, but you should take care of your downloads (just like any other repository)
MX Linux
Linux Mint and Ubuntu can be the most distributed distributions, but MX Linux tries to be even closer to Windows. It has a very easy installation system. MX Linux seems to be the best choice for anyone who wants to change for the first time from Windows to Linux.
From I'm sure.gr we strongly recommend distribution.
For:
MX is developed by a group of developers and not by a company with opaque interests and agreements.
Support for problems with forum solutions
Direct out of the box support for driver installation.
He does not use systemd
Against:
We did not find it against
Of course there are other Linux distributions, but you should start with some of the above. All of the three operating systems we describe above are based on Debian, one of the most reliable distributions in circulation. Please note that we do not recommend installing Debian as it requires more skills than a novice user.
What is dual-booting?
When you go to install Linux, on a computer that already contains some other operating system, you have two options: Completely replace your existing operating system or add the new one next to the old one with dual-booting.
Although replacing your old operating system may be easier, it will be very useful for you to have both operating systems on your computer. For example, if you want to go back to Windows, all you have to do is restart!
At this point, we should mention that installing Linux next to Windows is not as difficult as you imagine. Especially if you try installing MX by following the default settings you will have a dual boot system before you understand it.

You do not refer to Q4OS while Debian-based, but it makes you think you're working on Windows !!! in most of his work.
