I am looking to get Linux for my MacBook (inb4 macfag); however, I'm not sure what will happen. I'm not very educated when it comes to computers and their inner machinations. I heard there are different distros (themes? of Linux) that offer different things. I'm tired of OSX and making this purchase; kind of turning my laptop into something else by doing this. What I'm wondering is what will happen to all my data on this operating system/user/whatever. What are some good distros and do you have any tips for a macfag switching over to Linux? what will I expect? what should I prepare for?

>what distro should I use?
Ubuntu or Linux Mint every time

> what will happen to all my data?
As far as I know, you need to have a thumb drive if you want to transfer files from osx to Linux. Everything will br deleted from osx unless you wish to still have both OSes on your mac

>what should I prepare for?
Read above

1, Linux Mint. Ubuntu a shit
2. If you wont to properly use the command line, pick up(pirate) the book "the LINUX command line - complete introduction".

It's on kickass, and dont install a torrent because Linux already comes with one.
