Getting started with linux

Post by MrNiitriiX »

Hello my brothers and sisters !!! i hope you are all doing great !! sorry i have been away for a while but i have a lot going on.

And for this reason i am offering you my help, to clear my head from all the crap that is going on i would like to help people get started with linux. If enough of you are interested i will make regular tutorials on how to install, personalize/customize, install/uninstall progs, etc etc.

so if you would finally like to make the move away from window/mac and bacome free, leave a comment with maybe something that would help you and i will make a tutorial about it. I will start from installation and progress from their, so that everybody that wants to can join in.

and ass a great person once quoted:

"software is like sex, its better when its free"


peace and love to ALL,

Great idea about Linux tutorials :ok:
I personally know very little about linux :blush: , I dare to think I'm not the only one, so please start with all the basic stuff :)-)
I'm looking forward to see the first one and see if I can get to grips with it :fun:

ummmm ... it 5:20am i just got home...give me a nights sleep and ill get it started. i said if enough people were interested, but to be honest, 0 would have been enough lol.

@hw24 ... no single website could give it justice, but try searching and understanding the benefits of FOS .... i think maybe Richard Stallman could explain it best.

EDIT: try this:
