I would class myself as reasonably computer literate but have always used windows (since win95 so that dates me). I’m looking to get used to Linux and have stuck mint onto an old notebook to get used to the system.
We’ve been up and running for a couple of months now and I’ve got the basics going but I’m starting to collect questions on how to do this, best ways to achieve that etc, in times past there would probably be a good forum community I could start posting on to learn but I don’t know where to go these days.
Where do you take your open questions to, to learn and improve.
I started with Ubuntu 7.10. I could not believe you just “apt-get install vlc” and then its done. Everything else was not that easy, but still somehow possible. I never participated in a community, but I mostly used two wiki’s. The German ubuntuuses wiki and of course Archlinux. Even with FreeBSD I looked up Archlinux Wiki often. I don’t use Arch since longer time, but their wiki is great to learn and get questions answered. So try using it often. Gentoo wiki is also great.
Also, Lemmy should be fine for questions.
