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.
