That is why we have Linux Users Groups, to help new users learn about the
FOSS tools available and suitable for their machines and level of
skills. In 2006 I had
problem with getting my Mandriva online so I joing San Francisco Linux
USers Group
ask SF-LUG and got plenty of free advice some of it bad but I survived.
I easily
transition from AmigaOS 3.9 to Windows XP to Linux with KDE version 3.9.5.

Lack of Interest slowed the group down considerably around 2019 but Covid
ended the meetings in person.  I found it by searching on Linux users
groups in
San Francisco. Taat searching might work for other areas. We had one meeting
in person just before Covid Delta began to spread.  Now we meet online
which is harder for newbies to accesss.

I wouldn't hook newbies up with Linux Users Groups.  There are too many
Linux zealots who have wierd hangups, and are very opinionated on things
that most users don't care about.  We would have 1,000 distros without
this mentality.
