I am currently up late doing anything but sleeping. Later, during the day, I will have officially taken the dive into Linux! I am very excited to do so. Does anyone have any tips, anything that a new user should know? That would be greatly appreciated.

Update 02:

Actually... Ok, so I really wish I'd found this guide (below) before, it looks a lot easier to follow than the various scraps of info I pulled together a couple of weeks ago! I'd say try working through this first, as it seems to be written by someone considerably more knowledgable than me! :-)

https://www.reallinuxuser.com/how-to-install-wifi-drivers-in-linux-mint/ (I've no connection with the author, I literally just stumbled upon the link while trying to find the stuff that helped me)

I need to go just now, but hopefully that helps - if not please do say, and we can keep trying! :-)
