Suggestions for Linux

[MatazaNZ]

So I only just managed to successfully install Ubuntu onto my laptop to dual boot with, and I'm a complete Linux noob. Does anyone have any suggestions for somewhere I can learn the basics to advanced stuff of Linux, and just general tweaks or tips? I would be thankful for anything helpful, really. This is my first time extensively using Linux since I was 12, and I can't remember much from it, nor do I think it's much the same as it was 8 years ago.

Well I would've recommended mint cinnamon personally. It's an Ubuntu fork that has a lot more user friendly interface included. You can still install cinnamon on Ubuntu tho. 

Well idk where to start. I'd just make it your daily driver for a while and solve every problem that gets in your way with google's help obviously. You'll be a power user in no time.

Bring up terminal with Ctrl+Alt+t

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

That looks interesting, I'll have to try that next time I reboot.
