These are some reasons why people install Linux:
-it’s free
-It is customizable so you can tailor it to suit your preferences
-It forces you to learn more
-It is very difficult to get malware, mind you it remains a possibility.
-It is not run by corporate interests so you can do whatever you want without having the fear of being spied
Before we get to the installation process, you need to know 2 things. These can save you time an resources in case installing Linux backfires on you.
Knowing which computer model you have
A simple google search should tell you if any poor soul had any problems installing Linux. That simple search could show two things to you. Installing it will be impossible so you shouldn’t even try, or installing it will be a pain in the rear but you will learn a lot. At the end, it’s up to you but you have been warned.
Backing up your data
As a “something goes horribly wrong” prevention measure, you should have a sub with all of your information(or the most important) so you don’t lose anything in the installation process.
You then choose a Linux distribution, usually referred to as distros. Distros gives your computer specific looks, a custom feel, default applications, among other stuff.
From here, the process can vary a lot. Some popular and “easy” distros are Fedora, Linux Mint, and Ubuntu. I will show you how to install Ubuntu 14.04, which is similar to Linux Mint.
First thing you need a USB drive a 1GB to a 2GB should be enough. This will contain your Linux distro so you can boot it from there.
Ubuntu is pretty cool because it has a simple installation wizard with some screens that will ask you things like your time zone, keyboard layout, username, password, and most importantly your partitioning setup. (Your partition can be done automatically by Ubuntu in several ways, this up to you but doing your research beforehand will help.
Once the installation is properly handled with the help of the wizard (disclaimer: it’s not am actual wizard) you can check out some of the default programs or browse the web. Ubuntu and other distros have a simple set of basic, easy-to-use configuration tools but overall they automate a big portion of it.
