What is the best way to get started using Linux? I am tired of Windows forcing me to update. I am not a gamer and only use my computer for browsing the internet and editing text documents etc

As a Windows user, you may find Linux Mint to be the easiest Linux distribution to get used to as it's desktop mimics that of Windows.

Thank you.  I hear a lot of people talk about Ubuntu and non-Linux Operating Systems that also try to mimic Windows.  Could you tell me a little about some of the other options available to me?
user
There are many other Linux distributions available, such as Fedora, Manjaro, and Red Hat. You can also find specialized distributions designed for specific purposes, such as creating servers or media streaming. You can also find pre-made computers or hardware devices that come with Linux already installed.
