FAQ

What is Linux?

Linux is an operating system—like Windows or macOS—but free, open-source, and not trying to sell you cloud storage every 5 minutes. It runs your computer, opens your apps, and makes you feel slightly more tech-savvy than you actually are.

Do I need antivirus?


Most home users don’t. Linux has strong built-in security and viruses are uncommon. Keeping your system updated and installing software from trusted sources is usually enough.

Can I try these without installing anything?

Yep. You can try it without installing (called Live Mode), or install it alongside Windows and choose which one you want when the computer starts. Commitment issues are welcome here.

Can I break my system?

If you’re clicking normal things and installing normal software, you’ll be fine. If you wander into the terminal and start typing mysterious commands you found on page 7 of a forum from 2012… results may vary.

Can I still play games?

Yes—especially through Steam, which supports a ton of games on Linux. Just don’t expect every game ever made to run perfectly. Some will. Some won’t. Some will run but with the enthusiasm of a goldfish.

Will Linux speed up my old laptop?

In many cases: absolutely. Linux is lighter, cleaner, and doesn’t wake up every morning demanding 25 background updates.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You can use Linux your whole life and never touch a single line of code. Some people use the terminal because it makes them feel powerful. You can ignore it completely.

Is Linux actually free?

Yes. You can download it, install it, and use it forever without paying anything.

Are these good for beginners?

Yes. These systems are designed so most people can use them comfortably without technical knowledge. The menus are clear, the layout feels familiar, and you can install software with a few clicks.

Can I still use the internet?

Absolutely. Linux comes with web browsers—usually Firefox or Chrome (or Chromium). You can still Google, YouTube, Facebook, email, and browse cat memes without interruption.

Do they come with a web browser?

Yes. All of these distros include a web browser by default—usually Firefox. You can install others, like Chrome or Chromium, through the Software Manager.
