Edit: Thanks all for your input. Got an idea on how to start now. Appreciate everyone’s time.

Hey Linux folk.
I have an old laptop that is out of Windows support so I may give Linux a go on it.
I’m an absolute IT n00b beyond some high level swearing experience.
What resources do you recommend I look at?

@OverclockedAndy I agree with Linux Mint as a starting point.
@markstos @OverclockedAndy thirded for Linux Mint, fwiw I've been using Linux since the early-mid 90s and daily-driving Mint for like 8 years on my laptops.
