New To Linux

Post by nick67+ »

Hi all,

My name's Nick and I'm recently converted to Linux after many disgruntled years funding the Microsoft machine.
I've installed Mint 18.2 KDE after playing around with a few other distros including Ubuntu 16.04. Hope to learn a lot from you folk - particularly around the command line.

Regards
Nick.

@Nick - You can learn a lot of good stuff on the forum. Try using the 'advanced search'. Search for 'command line tutorials' or 'command line interface' (CLI). Try the same searches on the Internet and even in YouTube.

Welcome aboard, nick67+! You can learn a lot just by hanging out here on the forums. A good command line book is The Linux Command Line, by William Shotts. And, it's free to download, too!
