Hello users,
This question may be offtopic here, but i need your kind suggestions. I am now going to reinstall an operating system in my computer.
I had Windows 10 earlier. Now I am thinking to use Linux. I have not used it before so I have a few doubts.
Will it be difficult to use and understand Linux?
Will Linux be faster than Winodows 10?
Thanks
I have been using XP Pro many years now, and been slowing teaching myself Linux over the past year. I gave a test drive to about 20 different distros (my bottom-line requirement being it had to run as LiveCD and connect to the internet on its own). Only four passed that test. As a Windows user you will find only a few doable choices in Linux, though many purport to be easy to learn, only a few are. That would be MX Linux, Linux Mint, TAILS, and AntiX. Of these I choose MX Linux. The distro has been reviewed here:

MX Linux is Debian-based, so a quick intro is here:
https://www.linux.com/learn/return-root-how-get-started-debian. More in depth is here:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/. Don't let all this get you dizzy. You learn Linux by doing and practice...reading stuff like this is of limited value, and mostly just for answering questions...with most such questions not arising til you are at an intermediate level. Just focus on using the OS in LiveCD mode. Explore. Poke around. Practice. You cannot screw up a LiveCD!
The MX Linux forum is here:
https://forum.mxlinux.org/in case you have questions the above cannot answer, or you just need some hand-holding.
If MX Linux is not to your liking, similar resources exist for the other three distros. I think that about does it.
