I didn’t realize this community existed and posted my other thread about linux distros in another community, so I’ll try rectifying that here.
I’m trying to learn as much about linux as a desktop system as I can before I dive in to installing a distro on my computer. I do have a tiny bit of familiarity with the terminal from having servers running Debian, but those I get a lot of help with. the distro I’ve chosen is Bazzite, which is based(?) on Fedora if I recall right. I liked the stuff it comes with (I love video games) built in and I like the idea of the atomic desktop setup.
so, what are your tips and tricks for a new linux user? what about outside resources? I’ve been doing as much digging for articles and videos as I can, but I thought asking the community might be a good idea too. I’m trying to compile these resources for myself and my partner, so that we have stuff to learn from and reference.
as a final question, what got you into using linux over windows or mac?
thanks in advance!
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
Solutions found on either of these wikis may work perfectly fine on other distros, but it’s not a guarantee. ‘Seasoned’ users should be able to distinguish this.
yup and for disambiguation purposes,
there’s also the option to ask users directly for help too✨
