Thank you in advance!

Hopefully i am not breaking anyways or "hi-jacking" this post. BUT, i too would love something like this. i wanted to switch to Linux but could not learn anything by having to "search" one question at a time, Every time i wanted to learn how to do something

Thank you, dear Samaritan.

Also worth flipping through this: https://www.dummies.com/computers/operating-systems/linux/linux-for-dummies-cheat-sheet/

 

I'd also recommend getting the full book as well, if you can swing it.

edx offers several free Linux courses and then you can get certification for passing them later of you choose to: https://www.edx.org/course?search_query=linux

Whenever I need to learn more about a specific program and the man pages aren't doing it for me, I will use the Arch Wiki. It's also helpful even if you are not using an Arch based distro https://wiki.archlinux.org/

Once you get started, if you run into any snags... get your favorite irc client (x-chat, irssi, weechat, whatever), and go to:

 

server: irc.freenode.net

 

and most distros have some sort of help channel chat there.

 

Example: #ubuntu #kubuntu #lubuntu #xubuntu #debian #arch #elementary #gentoo #centos #redhat

etc etc etc

Also, I do really suggest the actual dummies books, I learned linux a loooong time ago off them, and they are pretty straight forward.

Thank you guys! 

 

Appreciate it! 

 

By any chance, you have some suggestions regarding TCP/UDP, where to learn?

I found easily information about it.

But when I am asked about it, if  I know it, I don't understand the question. 

I mean, what is so special that I need to learn about it?

Any data you want to transfer will be segemnted and wrapped in TCP or UDP, TCP is more developed and has features such as packet verification whereas UDP is a lot more simple. Each has its upsides or downsides, in critical infrastructure TCP is good because of packet verification but you would never run a VPN through TCP because due to the high chances of a packet drops happening a lot you could be stuck in a loop of TCP waiting for packet verification whereas UDP does not care if a packet was received or not. There is a lot more you can read into it.

You might want to look into Network+ 07 or 06 video series on youtube or CCENT/CCNA video series

Also if you want to take your knowledge to the next step and don't mind giving up a seamless gaming experience I highly suggest completely getting rid of windows and using Debian as your main OS. Force you self to do everything through Debian and you will learn a lot.
