Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I always advise running a distro with its default GUI. It's the one most of the developers use and most of the users download, so the quality is going to be good. OpenSUSE has always been a KDE distro, as has PCLinuxOS, and they're both pretty good.

Hey, I have a Windows computer and I decided to dual boot Linux, I was thinking of KDE Plasma because I like the DE and the apps, but which distro is better? Kubuntu, KDE Neon, OpenSuse, Arch with KDE?
One thing though, Kde is fairly heavy . For most people this is no problem, but on older hardware it can get slow.
Bloated like your capitalised word (here's some...) but, less so than m$ plus KDE is open to change,,, I run it on old stuff to do more as it does( like my IBM T20 from a thrift store)!
If yous complain about something open source aren't just mad at self‽
