I WAS ABLE TO REPAIR COMPUTERS OF THE DISTANT PAST.
I HAD NO UNDERSTANDING OF INNER "SOFTWARE"
TRY HAVING ONLY THOSE ABILITIES
AND BEING MARRIED TO A COMPUTER GURU.

Heh, the very first Apple II I ever saw in the flesh, so to speak was one a 
friend got from an accountant she knew. The top rows and left hand column with 
the row numbers from VisiCalc were permanently burned into the monitor. 
Basically the thing spent 8-10 hours a day 5-6 days a week doing spreadsheets.

 This is an iMac list; like Adrian said, you’ll be far better off getting onto 
an xubuntu forum https://xubuntu.org/help/ for this sort of information, since 
it’s really not at all Mac related. (other than you’re running Linux on a Mac…)
I deal with linux servers all day long; and every bit of it takes place in the 
command-line via Terminal; I haven’t gotten onto a Linux GUI in years, and 
they’re all different. 
Come here and ask Mac related questions you’ll get a ton of answers, Linux, 
hardly any. Google is your friend here...

If you are moving over from a Windows PC, Apple has (or used to have) a

It’s been swallowed up in their ‘New to the Mac’ stuff: 
https://support.apple.com/explore/new-to-mac
Apple stores DO still have ‘Basics’ classes, as well, just not the one-on-one 
stuff.
but the best way of ‘getting schooled’ is ask away here. 
Best chance we can help is if you can tell us what Mac model, OS version and 
apps you're talking about, or wht you’re trying to do. 
Welcome to the Mac :-)

Congratulations on your choice. I am only 82 years old.
The Help tab in the top bar on the screen. In the Finder, you can pick on 
What’s New in Mac OS X and Get to Know your Mac. Decide what parts of the 
offerings to spend time on first. Each application has Help. Also Search in 
Help.
A local Macintosh user group may have someone ready to spend time with you

BOOKS: I like the Teach Yourself VISUALLY series. If your new Mac is running 
Sierra, “Teach Yourself VISUALLY macOS Sierra” is available now. If you have 
High Sierra, that book will ship from Amazon.com later this month. Another 
series with good reviews has “MacOS Sierra for Seniors.” Their High Sierra 
version is also due soon.
You should be able to sit a while and browse these books at any Barnes & Noble 
store. Perhaps your public library has them. 
Apple Stores quit their own One to One service two years ago.
