For new Linux users a good start would be YouTube vids
after that I'd personally recommend the Arch Linux Wiki as it's a well regarded and well known encyclopedia for anything you'd need/want to know about most Linux related things
beyond the Arch Linux wiki, you'd probably be looking at the Linux kernel documentation or Gentoo's docs/wiki

On the offhand chance that someone with a bricked HP laptop stumbles here looking for what to do (prob via smartphone or public library computer),
I'd recommend on removing the M.2 SSD (gumslice-shaped PCB that contains your data) to protect your data
this can be found by googling your laptop's serial number and looking for the manual, after downloading the PDF file you'll be able to open it with Firefox
you'll typically need a philips-head screwdriver to remove the laptop's case and remove the SSD
I'm assuming the users might be coming from Windows

as one of the instance mod/admin's I'd say that evidence would help expedite the report process but it's totally optional
depending on what the thing being reported is sometimes evidence isn't needed
for anything that's blatantly negative/unpleasant, evidence isn't typically needed when reporting a post/comment
for anything else that someone might find subtly "off", 2 pieces of evidence could help us figure out what's wrong
as a systems analyst having as much information to determine what happened and how things got to this way can help others and myself determine what the best way forward could be
for example some users might just need a warning/clarification based on my own interactions
