Introduction


I’ve included Linux resources in prior posts. However, I will eventually archive those posts, so I’ve decided to create a separate post to document the resources.

This is not a comprehensive collection of Linux resources. It’s just a collection of Linux resources I’ve come across in my Linux journey that I’ve found interesting or useful.

Books & Magazines


Conky


Conky is a lightweight system monitor for X, Wayland, and other things too.

Debian


Debian is a free and open source Linux distribution, developed by the Debian Project, which was established by Ian Murdock in August 1993. Debian is one of the oldest operating systems based on the Linux kernel, and is the basis of many other Linux distributions. - Wikipedia

Good for obtaining prior versions of packages. Use with discretion.

EndeavourOS


EndeavourOS is an Arch Linux derivative. EndeavourOS is much easier to install than Arch Linux and the EndeavourOS forums are much more friendly than the Arch Linux forums.

Never post a help request specifically about EndeavourOS or any other Linux distribution in the Arch Linux forums. Your thread will be closed.

Useful if you need to re-install an older package. Use with discretion. You can easily break your system by installing older packages.

Images & Wallpapers


If you know how to use an image editor, you can use images from the image sites below for use as wallpapers.

Linux in General


Easily explore and create color schemes for your bash prompt.

Linux distribution news, updates, reviews, and page hit rankings.

for computer users who just want to use Linux to get things done

You have Linux installed and running. The GUI is working fine, but you are getting tired of changing your desktop themes. You keep seeing this “terminal” thing. Don’t worry, we’ll show you what to do.

The global website for beginning Linux users

The channel creator died in 2023, but the videos on the channel are still useful.

Picom


Picom is a lightweight compositor for X11 with animation support.

Xfce Desktop Environment


Conclusion


I hope you find this compendium of resources to be useful in your Linux journey. Thank you for visiting.
