So I finally decided to join my university Linux group, and as I been helping people with simple problems in discord for a while they put me in the helpdesk.

All fine and dandy, but other than dual boot and partitioning problems that I had to deal with myself (stupid laptop which does no follow efibootmgr order) I don’t know much about other kinds of troubleshooting.

Is there some reads or free online courses that u guys would recommend.

Oh wow, I feel for you. I bet when u did solve it it felt wonderful. That’s the high I’m chasing with software at least.

also side note, as I feel like this thread is over: DANG I love this platform. I’m not even alive for 20 years and your not the first guy on here who gives me free advice from 20+ years of experience. This shit is pure gold for someone who wants to learn. And it’s not even like I’m here to use people, I stayed because how kind and helpful everyone is.

Anyone who reads this in the future, you’re the good side of the internet. I’m showing some threads to my friends from time to time and if it’s more then 3 sentences they’re like “ah, wall of text, I ain readin allat”.

Yeah it was a massive relief! I’m always willing to help and share all of the knowledge I’ve gained over the years, gotta make use of it somehow! Back when I was your age I felt the same way, I was part of a private hacking/security community and dudes would spout out stuff about Linux, Windows, and network tech that I had no idea about and I was always thinking “I aim to be like you some day” 😊

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
