I'm trapped on a desert island and want to learn Linux. How do I do it?

How would I learn how to configure, say, Archlinux if I was alone on a desert island without Google, or an internet connection?

I suppose you could just

1. Try to do what you want.
2. Fail.
3. Read -h output or the man page for the commands that you're using.
4. Try again until you succeed.

But that sounds a bit frustrating. Is there a "start here" or "introduction to Linux" man page or similar?

From Windows 11 to Fedora KDE 43

I am so glad that I made the switch. I really started to hate Microsoft/Windows and needed something more private. I've had so many issues in the past with Windows operating systems that I just gave up and swapped to Fedora KDE 43. I hope you guys enjoy my main monitor setup. :)

Welcome to Linux everyone!!!

I'm really loving seeing these posts about you all switching from Windows to Linux.

I've been full time Linux now since 2018. Used it off and on starting in 1994. Almost went full time in 2007.

It'll be really interesting to see how the next version of Windows will do (Windows 12 possibly) since people are removing Windows 11, you've already bought Windows 11. So it'll be interesting to see how the sales for the next version of Windows goes. I know Windows probably has a way to see how many people are currently using Windows on their computers and if they can see that now (I'm sure they can) then those numbers are probably dropping as well. Not enough to make a significant impact but it'll be noticeable I'm sure.

So, welcome to the revolution everybody!!!

Discussion on what music players you use

I’ve been on the hunt for a Linux music player that gives me a similar feel to Spotify, but for my own local music collection. I already have my songs locally, I’m not looking for streaming but something that's more feature-rich.

I have been using Quod Libet which is actually great but it lacks the polished UI and “modern-app” features like an album-cover view, shuffle with ease, built-in lyrics display, etc etc

I found Wora which had what I wanted, but it seems not actively maintained and has a few bugs that make it less stable.

What local-music players on Linux do you use or recommend?

Fellow Linux users, why did you pick the distro you're currently on?

Actually wondering, most distros I saw people here using are normal. Arch, Debian, some occasional OpenSUSE or Fedora. But then there are people who use AlmaLinux or Rocky on A DESKTOP (actually saw a couple of posts like that). There are also people using some variant of BSD for some reason? All of this just makes me wonder WHY, so I'm asking this question here.

Where can I learn more about Linux

Im still a full blown Windows user. Ive been with MS since DOS 3.3. I want to learn about Linux and move some of my older computers over, but I know next to nothing about it. I've been doing a lot of YouTubing for a few weeks and there's just so many opinions out there about the different distress and versions that I they all sound just as good and just as bad.

Are there any recommendations on books, or specific websites, or YT/Reddit/other Social Media sites that are good resources? Maybe I need to start with a Linux for Dummies book.

I appreciate your input. Thanks ahead

Valve is expanding SteamOS hardware support

Should we be excited about the future of Linux gaming following the new hardware announcements from Valve's steam?

For those who missed it Valve recently announced new gaming hardware.

The steam machine will be a "console" Powered by its Linux-based SteamOS operating system and Steam Frame virtual reality (VR) headset also running SteamOS.
Valve already has a handheld console running linux. The steam-deck.

I'm feeling that if these products do well on release, gaming companies will start paying more attention to Linux compatible gaming and it is a really great thing for Linux gaming enthusiasts when the biggest PC gaming platform is running it's own hardware on said OS.

It could force some notorious companies to re-evaluate their relationship with Linux moving forward or risk lower sales numbers.

Personally I am just looking forward to not having to dual boot and be able to do everything on one centralized OS of my choice (and control).

What do you think? Could this change things moving forward for us the gamers that like Linux?
