Never used it myself, but I can recommend this website for self-learning the basics of Linux: https://linuxjourney.com/
I can also try my best to answer any questions anyone may have about Linux.
As an aside, I'd recommend Linux Mint for beginners due to its resemblance to Windows and ease of use with many built-in graphical tools. ZorinOS is also another one with an optional premium version.

This blog post by ZorinOS may also be of some help: https://blog.zorin.com/2025/05/28/windows-10-is-reaching-its-end-of-life/
Feel free to DM me if you want any clarification or understanding, or just reply to this comment.
For those that are slightly savvy, I'd recommend the Debian Handbook. It definitely requires some knowledge and there are some debian-specific components of it, but it helps with a general understanding of how Linux itself works:
