{warning:title=Warning}
Linux Distributions are separate operating systems(OS) from Mac and Windows and therefore do not support many programs made specifically for those systems. Installing a Linux OS on a computer will possibly *erase all data, programs, and other operating systems* on that computer if done incorrectly. Please be cautious. Non-invasive trial versions of distros are sometimes available and are a good way to try a system before making any permanent changes to your computer.
