[Trisquel-users] New Trisquel user, looking for focus

[sephiroth2088]

Hello, I am very glad to have gotten Trisquel up and running. Right now I am  
still running a dual boot with windows 7 but I am hoping the more I learn  
here, the less I will need my windows installation and perhaps some day be  
done with it altogether.

I have run ubuntu in the past and I have taken a class on linux and bash  
commands but it has been quite some time and most of that has been forgotten.  
I have resolved to start using trisquel because it seems you have a friendly  
community and I am growing tired never knowing what my computer is doing,  
even though it is MY computer. Very strange.

The problem for me is finding an area to focus on. I am overwhelmed by the  
amount of things to learn with GNU linux. There is the terminal, drivers,  
programming (I know some basic and java and that is it), all the processes  
running in the background (a lot like windows but I assume these can actually  
be better understood, also understand this whole concept of a linux kernel.  
There is just so much to learn so I definity appreciate any advice on where  
to start.
