-## **Introduction**
-I say you need to learn _Linux_ because really there is no reason not
-to. If you are pursuing a career in IT then you will without a doubt
-come across _Linux_ and having even basic knowledge of _Linux_ will get
-you far simply because it is everywhere. Many people struggle with the
-OS simply because it's fundamentally different compared to the other
-operating systems but give it a bit of time, you will master the
-basics and understand how much control over the system it gives you.
-
-
-## **But Why**
-As mentioned before, there isn't reason not to. **Linux is everywhere**,
-from data centres to your phone. **Understanding how to use _Linux_ is
-great if you in or looking at a career in IT** because not many people
-relatively speaking- know how to use it, it sets you apart from others.
-**I also believe _Linux_ gives you a deeper understanding of how your
-system works** at a lower level which can be great when it comes to
-troubleshooting. I think the most important factor is that **Linux is
-open source** and so you have the ability to look at the code you are
-running and with this comes full customisability of the system.
-
-If you consider yourself a power user then _Linux_ is the perfect
-operating system due to the aforementioned customisability but also the
-command line. Many people are scared away from _Linux_ as they are
-intimidated by the fact that they have to use the terminal, however if
-you can overcome this "fear" then you have unlocked a great power and
-from my experience will start finding GUI's cumbersome.
-
-
-## **How can you start**
-There are many ways you can start using _Linux_ and a lot of them don't
-require you to use _Linux_ as your main operating system. You do need
-to be committed to using Linux. Try not to fall back to Windows or
-MacOS if you cant figure something out, **search for solutions.**
-**Lastly try to get comfortable with the terminal.**
-
-### **Install Linux as your main OS**
-This is the **Full Send** option. This is a great option if you know
-a move to Linux is something you want to commit to. I think this is the
-best option as you have to start learning Linux to get things done so
-you have incentive to keep going.
-
-
-**Choosing a distro is fun but a huge time investment, you will hear the
-term `distro hopping` which is installing different distributions of
-_Linux_ and with the number of distros out there this can be daunting
-for new users. A great Distribution that I recommend is 
-[Manjaro with KDE Plasma](https://manjaro.org/downloads/official/kde/)
-as it offers a heavily customisable desktop environment `KDE Plasma`
-and Manjaro itself is a great as it is based on Arch Linux so it can
-leverage the power of the AUR (Arch User Repository)
-
-### ***MacOS*** **Terminal**
-_MacOS_ is actually _UNIX_ based and so **if you have an _apple Mac/MacBook_
-all you need is to open the Terminal** application and start playing
-around. I used this option for a while on my work machine and it works
-great. You get the best of both worlds with this option so if you have
-a MacOS device then this is a solid option. Not recommended if you
-don't have one of these devices simply due to cost 💸
-
-### ***Windows WSL***
-The _Windows Subsystem for Linux_ is another great option to get started
-with _Linux_ as it installs the _Linux Kernel_ natively in windows and
-allows you to play around with a real _Linux_ environment, before doing
-a full send on my main machine this is the option I used.
-
-### **Virtual Machines**
-If there is a specific Distribution of _Linux_ you want to try without
-doing a Full Send then this is a great option however if you want to
-simply get to know the _Linux_ then choose the _MacOS_ terminal or _WSL_
-methods as they are a lot lighter.
