Are your Linux skills not up to par? Does the console (or command line) scare you? This section is for you. This list is, in my opinion, the best resources on the 'net for learning Linux or transitioning from Windows to Linux. Even for a seasoned command line ninja, possibly like yourself, these can bring a much appreciated refresher or possibly new look from a different angle on the tools you use on a daily basis.
When it comes to desktop operating systems (OS) I am extremely picky. Heck I attempted to use [//www.freebsd.org FreeBSD] (yes, the server OS) as a desktop OS for many years until finally admitting to myself that things I wanted for that OS just were not going to happen in the desktop space.

= My History with Arch Linux =
In 2010 I decided to make the switch back to Linux and had been fishing around for new distros to try out. I figured how hard could it be, after all my first dive into Linux was Slackware way back in 1998 (sometimes I still have dreams of compiling on that old 386). I tried a lot of distributions including: Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, openSUSE, Gentoo, and a few others before finally turning toward Arch Linux.
Nowadays I find myself using Windows less and less, aside from the occasional game that doesn't work with {{man|name=steam|section=6|link=//manned.org/steam/61b00001}} or {{man|name=wine|section=1|link=https://manned.org/wine/867b7fc2}}. When it comes to desktop operating systems (OS) I am extremely picky. Heck I attempted to use [//www.freebsd.org FreeBSD] (yes, the server OS) as a desktop OS for many years until finally admitting to myself that things I wanted for that OS just were not going to happen. As of 2010 I had been fishing around for new flavors of Linux to try out. I figured how hard could it be, after all my first dive into *nix/*bsd was with Slackware in 1998. I tried Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, openSUSE, Gentoo, and a few others before finally turning toward Arch Linux. From the moment I installed it I was hooked, whether its the extensive [//wiki.archlinux.org/ ArchWiki], or the fact that the [//bbs.archlinux.org/ Arch Linux Forums] hostname is an homage to the old BBS systems of yesteryear ''*tear*''.


Getting into Arch Linux was really easy as someone coming from FreeBSD being that pacman is very similar to ports. While something like [//www.gentoo.org Gentoo] or [//crux.nu CRUX] might be technically closer to FreeBSD in design and scope, I personally believe Arch Linux and FreeBSD are the closest when it comes to community, documentation and philosophy.

Icon My History with Arch Linux

When it comes to desktop operating systems (OS) I am extremely picky. Heck I attempted to use FreeBSD (yes, the server OS) as a desktop OS for many years until finally admitting to myself that things I wanted for that OS just were not going to happen in the desktop space.

In 2010 I decided to make the switch back to Linux and had been fishing around for new distros to try out. I figured how hard could it be, after all my first dive into Linux was Slackware way back in 1998 (sometimes I still have dreams of compiling on that old 386). I tried a lot of distributions including: Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, openSUSE, Gentoo, and a few others before finally turning toward Arch Linux.

From the moment I installed Arch I was hooked, whether its the extensive ArchWiki, or the fact that the Arch Linux Forums hostname is an homage to the old BBS systems of yesteryear.

I then knew that I had found a new home.		Archlinux-logo.png
