How would someone with no computer skills get acquainted with the OS? What version would you recommend to the hopeless novice? Can I keep windows on my PC and run the new OS or a practice version of it in a partitioned space while I learn? Can someone with minimal skills/time/patience be happy with a unix-like OS?
My daily PC is an i5-3570k and it’s very quick in Kubuntu (that’s Ubuntu with KDE as a graphical environment). I think I have “only” 8 GB RAM and it’s quite enough for my use.
