10+ Sites to Get Help and Solve Linux Problems

As Linux is the third most used desktop based operating system after Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS X, it has less support than Windows and mac. So if you have question why it has less support though it’s an advanced OS? There are many answers. The big factor is as Windows or Mac has big market share so all peoples are rushing to them because they get anything for those and because software developers or companies want to see which OS are mostly using. So when person comes to use a Linux dsitro like Ubuntu he don’t get everything he wants.

As for Ubuntu(a most popular Linux distro) there are many questions like how to install Ubuntu, installing any software and driver, how to Install Ubuntu without removing windows with dual boot, how to configure network, how to run windows programs on Ubuntu and more and more.

  • With all the Open Source Hype going around, I decided to switch to Linux plenty of years ago, but what happened then with so less known about it and so few people to discuss with was I eventually gave up and switched back to windows. But I don't know why I still have that fascination for Linux.

      • Well yes! Linux does not lag behind Windows in terms of features, but many people quit just because they could not find ample support and place to troubleshoot their issues.

  • I am using Ubuntu and it is really a bit difficult to get all kinds of problems related to Linux solved as easily as in case of windows. As installing the Os in dual boot mode and downloading in Linux is bit difficult, some online help will be very helpful. Though linux is wonderful for net access, installation is tough in Linux. I sometimes get clueless about how to install certain games or softwares through Ubuntu. I hope, your links will be helpful for me.

  • I want to switch to Linux but everything seems to be pretty critical and tough and what more, there are few people ready to help you with Linux!!! We have no other option than to use Windows. Recently, I have started learning some of the basics and your list of sites will be helpful for me. Thanks. :)

  • Lol, these are gonna be really useful. I recently installed Linux Mint on my laptop to run a test drive because windows has been giving me headaches recently, but i'm sooo lost with linux that i actually even started dreaming about it at night.
    It's taking more of my time than i would want it to, but i believe it'll be worth it on the long run.
