Welcome to LQ.

If your cryptic post means you want to learn Linux, then download a live media iso and try it out.

Then try others.

Ask more clear questions once you have decided what topics are important to you.

I guessed that the OPs post is a setup to be able to post a spam link in the future and was going to watch for same.

Edit: Another nonsense post in General, but that didn't bump their post count. Still suspicious.

Good part is almost all you know about windows has a parallel in linux.

The names may be changed but the task remains similar.

Just as an aside, "NLT Bible" refers to something called the New Living Translation Bible.

Words fail me.

Yes quite aware of that.

Well, we have a new member, let's see what follow-up they offer.
