[HLUG] Excellent weekly newsletter cron.weekly issue #152: HTTP/3, eBPF, MySQL & more

[pl]

For a newbie with no previous I would deffo recommend Mint over Ubuntu. 
The basic install comes with that crucial little collection of non FLOSS 
drivers and codecs that allow continued enjoyment of your existing media 
collection. Yes you do have to tick a box to agree to load it, but 
that's hardly a burden.

As GM says; dual boot is a good place to start. I would also suggest you 
get or build a separate device for playing around with different Linux 
flavours and install/ set up/ partition options. That way you can learn 
the basics with no risk to anything important.
You may want to take a look at Root User Tutorial and Exposition (RUTE).
Hours of fun :D
