Getting Started with linux

Well, it sounds like you're telling me to run linux under windows? That isn't what I had in mind.  Here's what I've learned thus far: I need to download a linux OS; then make a bootable media and install the linux ISO to it.

Well, I did that:
downloaded ubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
and (for flashing it to the thumb drive) balenaEtcher-Portable-1.7.3.exe
made a bootable thumb drive and installed ubuntu on it.


Now I need to learn how to install ubuntu from the thumb drive.  I must search for instructions to go on from here.

Thanks.
Howard

Ubuntu or Fedora could do that for you.  alt-windows-s toggles speech on
and off and you want to choose try ubuntu or try fedora buttons on the
desktop screen.  Desktop screen is windows-d once system boots and you
have speech.

Hello all,

I've been wanting to try out linux but haven't wanted to give up or mess up
any of my working windows systems.  Would it be possible to install some
version of linux on a CD or a DVD; then just boot a computer from that disk
bypassing windows altogether?  If so, I'd have to make it either talk or drive
a Braille display.

Wonder if anyone would have any suggestions?  Thank you.

Howard
