Even as a total beginner you can be up and running with Linux in approximately 15 to 20 minutes (not counting reading time). Without ever touching your current setup, you can try Linux and see, if it is for you.

I had seniors switch from Windows to Linux within only a few minutes without ever looking back. Within only a few minutes they used Linux as if they always did.

All it takes, is your basic Windows knowledge.

The catch is, that average users are not supposed to install operating systems. Technicians are supposed to do that. They just know a few things average users don't know. Yet! Linux has become a lot more beginner-friendly over the past 2 decades. But due to this lack of knowledge, users still struggle. This is where this book comes into play.

The goal of this book is to get you up and running with Linux as fast and as easy as possible.

It will provide only the need-to-know basics to get you there, without overwhelming you with technical details. The book is going to explain a few hardware basics and the basic boot process. It's going to suggest a beginner-friendly Linux distribution and guide you through the whole process.

On top of it the book is going to drop a few helpful hints. Like for example, how to install Linux next to Windows and use both, where to find help and basic troubleshooting approach.

You'll be surprised how easy it is.
