Learning Linux


Hi,  

What is the best site to get a basic knowledge of troubleshooting common Linux problems. And the best site for learning fundamentals of Linux? I'm not into programming but wanting to learn a new OS. Thanks Joe
If you need any Linux help, post here in our Linux forum and we'll be glad to offer assistance. Another really great Linux forum is [http://www.justlinux.com](http://www.justlinux.com/) and another popular site is [http://www.linuxquestions.org](http://www.linuxquestions.org/)
This is a site for helping people with computers, programming and networking issues. If you need assistance you need to provide as much detail as you can as we cover a wide range of knowledge. List your device, operating system like Windows, Linux or Mac, the program or application and any error messages. This will help us in getting  you a faster and more accurate response. We all have areas of different expertise , otherwise all we can provide is our best guess answer. You would be better off contacting Bissel for support. You may also want to check out YouTube.. They have lots of [repair videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56IPl2r-Wks) you would need to buy a licenced copy of windows for every machine. 

linux systems are free and young folks at school would quickly adapt to a different operating system and probably learn more from using linux.

here's a link to a download of a good flavour of linux which you can burn on to a cd or dvd and install it on one of the laptops to try it yourself.

it will be different but there are equivalents to all the programmes to which you're accustomed. not [full disclosure] a linux person per se.

something similar to the following should work:

https://www.unix.com/shell-programming-and-scripting/68166-converting-integer-string.html

start simple with just enough code to test the concept.

see if it works and modify/correct as necessary.

then if it still does not work, then post your documented code accordingly along an explanation of what is or is not happening as you expect or desire. i'm using ubuntu linux on my computer to type this, and i've been a regular linux user for the better part of the last 5 years.

i have to be honest, if by "making dvds" you mean video editing, you're going to be disappointed with what any version of linux has to offer. the tools linux has for the average home user's video editing needs are far, far behind what microsoft and apple give away for free with their systems. 

that aside, linux has excellent tools for the other needs you mentioned, and any major linux version you try is going to have all the major tools available. the key differences between linux versions (commonly called "distros" or "distributions") are generally found in default installed software, how you obtain new software (package management), and maybe hardware detection.

personally, i would recommend ubuntu. there are other excellent choices out there (fedora, suse), but i give ubuntu the nod for its excellent combination of default software, hardware support, and tools for installing new software. plus, it has a great community that will help you get started.

[additional info regarding video editing - 
i'm referring to software accessible to the average home user. i am not referring to professional, hollywood-level software. there is nothing available on linux that compares to apple's imovie or microsoft's windows movie maker, which is what i assume the asker is hoping for. if you know of such a program, i'd be happy to hear about it.] as i noted learning javascript is a good place to go as it’s used to make webpages more dynamic! the front end engineer career path may work well for you as the lessons you have already done will be completed, but there’s a lot of extra notes and such in it for html and css, as well as adding in the… I was looking for learning materials myself last year, and I found it extremely difficult to find anything. Nonetheless I'll share my list of links that I have found:

<http://www.17-minute-world-languages.com/en/shanghainese/> this question is a bit harder to answer than it appears on the surface, because there really is a lot to programming, so a specific field of interest to narrow the search could help narrow the list.

zorin os ultimate comes with a lot of useful programming applications that i would not have otherwis… hello [@lig](/u/lig) and welcome to the community. please read the stuff in [#start-here](/c/start-here/96) category when you have the time.

well. i think you are fine with the fact that fedora 33 is still pre-beta, so it is difficult to find support here. in addition, bugs are expected.

as a rule of thumb, you should install … Same answer as always: As long as only a infinitessimally small fraction of people even use a desktop Linux to do stuff, there is no point even discussing this. It really comes down to that "normal" people in the creative branches of the industry Adobe caters for simply don't care much for Linux to the point of a majority not even being aware that such a thing exists. Even if the products existed for Linux already, nobody would use them on this system. This is the simple, harsh truth here, no matter how much this is being trotted out hypothetically. The numbers simply don't add up.

I don’t have any personal experience with .NET code generation tools, but I can refer you to a very good website that provides information and resources on code generation. Checkout:


 http://www.codegeneration.net/


On this site, you will find interviews, technical articles, book references, and product/tool lists for specific platform. There are some very good resources on OMG Model-Driven Architecture (MDA), Intentional Programming, and other generative programming techniques.


Checkout the .NET page (http://www.codegeneration.net/tiki-index.php?page=NET) for specifics on .NET tools. There is also a complete list of code generators in the left-hand navigation bar (under “Generators”).


Good luck!
