Could you recommend some trusted Linux-related forums? For troubleshooting assitance, discussion and what-not.

Obviously, a good place to start would be your distro’s user forum, such as those of Debian, Mint, etc.; as well as your DE’s, such as that of KDE. Also, I trust this one here on Lemmy as well.

But, searching on the web, I also came across some generally-focused Linux forums that I wasn’t sure were as trustworthy. I mean, perhaps they were, but, being a newbie to this world, I’d rather hear from you guys what places you go when having an issue with your system or things of the like.

Thank you and have a nice Tuesday!

    Usually your distro’s forums are good enough, and even searching not your distro’s forums can lead to some insights into your issues/questions.

    Otherwise Arch Wiki, Gentoo Wiki, Arch Forums, Gentoo Forums, Debian User Forums, Ask Ubuntu, Linux Questions, Linux Mint Forums, even Manjaro Forums can be helpful. Always do as much search and research you can before asking your question on a forum and mention what you’ve done already. A lot of the times, your issue has already been raised and already has an answer. If not, ask away and mention what you’ve done already.

    The FOSS websites are usually worthy, as are privacyguides / privacytools, OMGUbuntu, ChrisTitus, and similar. Where are you on your Linux journey? Complete novice, have tried and need specific help or other?

      Thank you for your recs! I have been running Linux exclusively for a little over a month now, after dual booting to transition. Of course, I distro-hopped along the way trying Mint, Ubuntu, Zorin, Mint again, until I thought “why not just use Debian itself to see it for myself” and I quite like it.
