I’m over 50 and all I know about Linux is it’s mascot is a penguin and I think it has something to do with programming. But I’m trying to learn, do new things, and reinvent myself. Where/how should I go about learning? Or at this stage, should I even bother? I do want to learn, tho


On top of what was already said: Try to fix problems. Even if you see no other option than to reinstall. See it as a leaening opportunity. Over time you’ll start to recognise commands and names and how things interact with each other.
I’d also recommend you avoid AI. It likes to go into the wrong direction and break stuff. Use distros’ forums instead. People there are super eager ro help and will try their best.
Lastly, install linux on a real device and try to force yourself to use it.
