Intended for users of all levels, including absolute beginners.

Although it is recommended to install a Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox), it is better to try the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a full GNU/Linux experience.

If you are serious about switching to Linux and if you have Windows dual-booted (recommended), use it exclusively for 2 weeks, avoid Windows dual booting for that period of time, or it's likely you will start retreating back to windows instead of getting used to Linux as your new home and working on making it feel the way you want it.

Before asking, please find the answers to your questions in resources.

What else should we add?

Got pic related for cheap.
Suggestions for what to do with it?
Currently thinking of backup, media server and torrenting with it.
Also, home server thread.
