Free Linux Software Documentation (Online) - For Linux Distros
You can go to lots of Linux web sites and get free bits and pieces of Linux information on Linux commands and Linux concepts - and then try and put these pieces together to learn Linux.
However, this Linux info is often very poorly written, highly complex - and written by and for people who already know how to use Linux. It's often out-of-date, and sometimes just plain wrong!
Free Linux documentation is usually written by well-meaning individuals that have

Other Hardware Drivers - Provide Communication Between Linux and Hardware
By default, the Linux OS - and therefore Linux distributions - support thousands of different computer hardware components by including hardware drivers with the Linux distro.
In addition to the “basic” hardware drivers, such as those required to access a commonly-used graphics card, other hardware drivers are also required.
These drivers provide “support” (access) for a variety of

One or More Linux Desktops - For A Point-And-Click GUI Environment
All "major" (popular and common) Linux distros include at least one Linux desktop - and some include two or more!
A Linux desktop provides a mouse-driven “point-and-click”, environment. It gives you a graphical interface that looks like you're working on a desktop.
You use this “point-and-click” GUI interface to easily do common tasks like

The Linux OS components were developed by Linus Torvalds, and the Linux software developers that work with him, and hundreds of other software developers - creating the Linux software components found in the over 130 different Linux distributions.
These Linux software components are combined to provide everything that is required for

Linux Distributions - What They Are And Who Creates Them
A Linux distribution is a "version" of Linux. It is a collection of Linux software components, such as the Linux OS, GNU commands and other Linux software, that is put together by one or more people, or an organization, and given a name, and then "distributed" to the marketplace.
Many different companies, groups of people, and individuals create Linux distributions. These range from
