From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My first introduction to Linux was back in College in 2005. I ended up doing it off college but I've messed with Linux on and off over the years. A few months back I put GalliumOS on my Chromebook and I've done all sorts of stuff with the Raspberry pi. I wouldn't say I'm proficient in the slightest and I know very few terminal commands but I think I can manage.
Oh, you'll be fine then. Haven't used Mint personally, but I've heard good things about it! Always reach out for help.
I've federated my server with a lot of Linux content so I'm pretty much surrounded on Lemmy.
