Never used it myself, but I can recommend this website for self-learning the basics of Linux: https://linuxjourney.com/
I can also try my best to answer any questions anyone may have about Linux.
As an aside, I'd recommend Linux Mint for beginners due to its resemblance to Windows and ease of use with many built-in graphical tools. ZorinOS is also another one with an optional premium version.
For new users, unless they're more used to a MacOS-style interface, I'd actually advise to keep away from #GNOME as its interface will be confusing to (former) Windows users.

This blog post by ZorinOS may also be of some help: https://blog.zorin.com/2025/05/28/windows-10-is-reaching-its-end-of-life/
Feel free to DM me if you want any clarification or understanding, or just reply to this comment.
For those that are slightly savvy, I'd recommend the Debian Handbook. It definitely requires some knowledge and there are some debian-specific components of it, but it helps with a general understanding of how Linux itself works:

![Breathed new life into my trusty Lenovo ThinkPad X240! 💪
I recently installed Zorin OS 17.1 Core on it, and wow, what a difference it makes! The X240 is still a solid machine, and pairing it with Zorin OS 17.1 makes it feel fast and modern again.
Zorin OS is designed to be easy to use, especially if you're transitioning from Windows or macOS, with familiar layouts and tons of great features out-of-the-box. It's a fantastic choice for reviving older laptops that might struggle with newer versions of proprietary OSs.
I put together a video/guide showing the step-by-step installation process on the X240.
