   Are you serious? That might explain why teachers don't teach this stuff.

     To give you a very generic answer to a very subjective topic.
     
     Install Linux Mint in a Virtual Machine (VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation to name a few) and try to set it up in a way you would like using it as a "daily driver" and play (not games) with it for a while. Or write the live image to a USB stick and boot your computer from it, zero changes you make will persist reboots, but that's how I started.

     Like say I wanted to learn general computer stuff. Where would I go to do that? Especially with this Linux program.

     A lot of it is learned by doing and fucking up a lot.

     What do I do afterward? How do I fet into the hobby even more? Or is it all about just having Linux and the rest comes naturally?

     Just install Linux on your Gameboy via RFC connection and sideload the kernel through a RESTful API but don't forget to hydrate your HTML using a stateless database.

     @Owl @bajax @Goalkeeper @matty It mostly comes naturally, at least it did for me. But I was technical and played around with computers long before that, so your experience will likely vary. I wanted to fix some issues I had and that's how I learned about most of the internals.
     
     If you don't end up interested in the internals, but still like how things work differently and sometimes better than Windows, you might end up daily driving it for casual computer use and still have Windows around for gaming. A lot of people operate like that since gaming on Linux usually just works now, but figuring out the issues why it sometimes doesn't isn't easy.
