Linux is here to welcome you
unfortunately it isn't. I cannot imagine a less welcoming and beginner friendly community. the reason no one uses Linux is because your communities are indecipherable and you all act like everyone is or should be an engineer in computing.
Have you tried Linux Mint Cinnamon? It's about as beginner-friendly as it gets, has help forums, a dedicated chat built-in for getting help, a welcome screen that walks you through how to do updates/backups/firewall/etc, and works out of the box. I'm an ex-Windows user and I've been using Mint for almost a year now with practically no issue.
thank you
