The first two guides themes’ are:

“So you want to get into (pragmatic) Free Software extremism?”

It’s finished! I hope it’s good enough… You can find it here! However, there is an issue I’m trying to resolve with not being able to post it. I’m getting an invalid_body_field error, soooo you can access it through NotABug for now.

⏸️ “So you want to get into Linux?”

Didn’t even start to work on it… However, there is a plan! The guide will introduce a singular Debian based distribution for several reasons. Simplicity, support, stability. Since Debian is one of the best supported Linux distributions it will be, or any other Debian based distribution, to begin explaining what Linux is, it’s ecosystems and how to navigate them. There will also be a small introduction to the terminal, why it’s useful and why you don’t need to be a master at it nor remember everything to use it for what you need! It will be introduced along with the concept of a package manager. Only one distribution will be introduced as to not overwhelm anyone on what they should choose, or what is the best choice (which doesn’t exist).

Yeah I’ve written some already, I’ll work on finishing it later. I’m tired and hungry, here’s the thing if you’d like to read it.

They will be posted when both are finished! Stay tuned! I’m posting the first to check for problems. There are problems 💀, I’ve asked @CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml . for help so we’ll see how it goes

If you have any suggestions please leave them here! Don’t DM me! Let the whole community take part!

    The current guide I’m working on is going to reccomend Linux Mint due to it being beginner friendly, having a well written and easy to follow installation guide and already containing a good amount of bundled software. It being Debian based helps with support for proprietary software, like printer drivers for example.

    And yes, gaming will be mentioned! A section dedicated to Wine, Lutris, PlayOnLinux and Proton is in the works. Some of the first versions to the guide will be up shortly on NotABug.
