The first step when starting to use Linux is to understand that you need to create a new user account besides the root one you made during installation. The root account has access to all system files and other logins have limited access. This means that if something goes wrong such as a virus if you are logged in the root account then it can corrupt all files but as a normal user the damage is isolated.
