General tips not mentioned yes:

• Don’t look for Linux versions of the Windows software you use. Instead look for software that fulfils the same purpose.
• If you’re cutting-and-pasting a lot of stuff from those articles, give yourself a check on what those things actually do. See it as a small investment of time to economise time later on, as you’ll rely less and less on those articles.
• Stick to popular distros. And for the desktop environment (DE), use whatever works for you.
• Keep it easy. It’s fine if you need to log into Windows once in a while, but over time you’ll notice yourself doing it less and less.

give yourself a check for what those things do

To add, don’t kick yourself for forgetting and needing to double-check something. Even as a Linux vet, I still sometimes need to double-check whether it’s -r or -R for recursive on whatever command I’m using sometimes.

history | grep <part of the command that I actually remember>

Saves my bacon almost every day!

Thank you for teaching me something new today.
