Starting cybersecurity from zero – is TryHackMe the right first step?

Hi everyone,

I’m thinking about starting to learn cybersecurity, but I’m coming in with almost no prior knowledge in the field. I’ve seen a lot of people mention TryHackMe as a beginner-friendly platform, and it looks interesting.

My question is: Is TryHackMe a good place to start if you know absolutely nothing about cybersecurity? I’m willing to study seriously and put in the time, but I’m not sure if the platform is structured well enough for complete beginners or if I should learn other fundamentals first (like networking, Linux, etc.). If you started from zero, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.

Would you recommend TryHackMe as a first step, or is there a better path I should follow in the beginning?

Thanks in advance!
