Can someone point me to a helpful beginners resource explaining some Linux basics? Like what is the difference between “distro”, which is what, like Ubuntu, fedora, Debian (? Or is that a category of distro?) And desktop environment which is what, KDE, Lubuntu, gnome? Like I don’t even know I have these categories right let alone understand why I’d pick one over another and what practical effects it will have- which apps will I/won’t I be able to install, etc…

I’m not expecting anyone to answer these questions for me, but if you could point me to something already written, I’d appreciate it.

    Just to add for new users, find this info easily by typing “what to do after installing Fedora” into your search engine of choice, there’s many articles about it (and all of them have the same information for the most part).
