FYI: If you are going to recommend a Linux distribution to a newcomer, please be aware that CachyOS, despite its hype, is not a good recommendation. It's nice for advanced users, but definitely not something beginners should use. I'm telling you this as a CachyOS user.

absolute Empfehlung für Linux-Einsteiger oder Menschen, die Linux schon nutzen und verstehen wollen, was unter der Haube vorgeht (ich). Liebe geht raus an @DanielJBarrett

Never used it myself, but I can recommend this website for self-learning the basics of Linux: https://linuxjourney.com/

I can also try my best to answer any questions anyone may have about Linux.

As an aside, I'd recommend Linux Mint for beginners due to its resemblance to Windows and ease of use with many built-in graphical tools. ZorinOS is also another one with an optional premium version.

For new users, unless they're more used to a MacOS-style interface, I'd actually advise to keep away from #GNOME as its interface will be confusing to (former) Windows users.

https://zorin.com/os/

This blog post by ZorinOS may also be of some help: https://blog.zorin.com/2025/05/28/windows-10-is-reaching-its-end-of-life/

Feel free to DM me if you want any clarification or understanding, or just reply to this comment.

For those that are slightly savvy, I'd recommend the Debian Handbook. It definitely requires some knowledge and there are some debian-specific components of it, but it helps with a general understanding of how Linux itself works:

Wenn man jetzt sagt, man möchte sich gerne mit Serveradministration auseinandersetzen und auch nur mittels SSH. Wie sollte man am besten starten?

Ziel ist es am Ende, einen Ordner anzulegen und dort Ghost CMS am Laufen zu haben. Die Domain kommt von außerhalb und würde ich mittels DNS mappen.

Ich habe im Grunde keine Ahnung von SSH, habe aber gelesen, dass man damit starten sollte. Putty auf Windows, oder direkt via Terminal unter MacOS (was unter der Woche kein Ding ist).

Als Server würde ich mir einen günstigen V-Server bei Netcup holen. Also nichts Weltbewegendes. Vielleicht auch erst eine virtuelle Geschichte, lokal. Keine Ahnung wie das klappt, habe auch bisher nicht gegoogelt.

soooo
Using #EndevourOS (which is Basically Arch) with X11 and KDE Plasma. I guess "Dolphin" is my Filke Explorer? (not 100% sure) but if i graphycally copy files from one folder to the other, is there a way of a little more detailed "copy window" Maybe more like the Windows one or even a bit better? Showing me Data rates and the Files that is copyied in that moment?

#LinuxBeginner #Linux #Arch

i know i can do that via Comand line but i don't always want to do that.
