Hello, I would like to congratulate you on taking the first step. The sooner
you get out from the proprietary software trap, the less "hooked" you will be
on these applications that seem out of reach and the less "inconvenient" free
software will feel to you.
I am not the stereotype that probably comes into your mind when you imagine
the kind of person who uses Trisquel as their primary operating system. Not
only am I female, I am also middle aged and have never paid for any sort of
IT training.
I believe that you will have very little trouble doing what you need to do
with the modern GUI and avoiding the terminal if you choose to do so.
However, I doubt very seriously if that will become a permanent choice. You
can dip your toe in the waters and start very simply and slowly. Like me, you
will soon find that the terminal is neither scary nor boring and that there
is nothing wrong with learning at your own pace.
I would encourage you to keep reading the wiki and the forums and not to give
up on yourself or the free software world too quickly. Trisquel is quite user
friendly and the community here is very helpful.
You are in the right place. Welcome home.
