I would class myself as reasonably computer literate but have always used windows (since win95 so that dates me). I'm looking to get used to Linux and have stuck mint onto an old notebook to get used to the system.

We've been up and running for a couple of months now and I've got the basics going but I'm starting to collect questions on how to do this, best ways to achieve that etc, in times past there would probably be a good forum community I could start posting on to learn but I don't know where to go these days.

Where do you take your open questions to, to learn and improve.

Also, Linux Mint forums, Ubuntu forums and other close distros' forums - for questions that are likely to have been answered before. I prefer reading the thread myself rather than getting a summary, for it's a part of the fun - knowing there are lively communities and watching users suggest different approaches, good or bad, arguing, mentioning other topics that can come up later. It's not a systemic knowledge, rather case-by-case one, but it can be a path to some wider understanding of the OS.
