content: Account Deleted By User I've been looking at learning how to use a linux distro (not sure which one, considering one with a gui).  I want to put it on a thumb drive for transportability and as I said, to learn linux.  I can't afford another computer so I thought maybe a thumb drive would do it.  I've even considered purchasing a Raspberry Pi and using that instead of the thumb drive option. I don't want to partition my drive, mostly because this blasted laptop is old and crashes often.  i've read Linux Mint is good for first time users- any recommendations of other distros?  any really good websites with tutorials?  Thumb drive or a Raspberry Pi?
