Changing Operating System involves a learning curve and might not be quick. Many people trying Linux abandon the attempt, following inadequate investigation. Avoid the following, common mistakes:
- Expecting a Windows/iOS experience, when the general look & feel might be similar but the different paradigm in Linux results in :
- "drivers" being generally inbuilt and installed automatically
- antivirus software not being required
- frequent, but not automatic updates
- Changing Distribution, when a different Desktop Environment would be better
- many distributions have a choice of Desktop Enviroments, whilst being similar "under the hood"
- Installing too Soon
- live DVD are generally free and do not time-expire
- evaluate at least two Desktop Environments
- from the same distribtion, to get the best comparison
- evaluate at least two Distributions
- staying with one Desktop Environment, to get the best comparison
