Linux Section

[illumination]

I was just wondering if we could by any possible chance add a section dedicated to Linux here in the forum? I know there are several members that run Linux and could benefit as well as others that would..

+1 and i know that some of us are slowly switching from Windows to Linux definitely , a concentrated place where all linux stuff will be accessible right away and easily will be a good addition to the forum.

That's a terrific idea! In fact, I'd <clicked> on this thread thinking by it's very title that I was about to stumble upon some more exciting Linux Distro options alla illumination! ..which was definitely half correct, and is also very cool!
My vote (should it count) is a resounding Yes!!

BTW, illumination & Umbra Polaris, you each look very cool wearing your white on black avatars as though you've just stepped out of one of the popular "Men in Black" films.

We don't even have a dedicated Windows section. All Operating Systems are together in one forum. If we divided the Operating Systems into sub-forums then we would also have to include Mac and Android sections besides of a Windows section.

Another simple solution would be to create a dedicated Linux thread with tips, links, recommended software, etc.
I'm sure we have more Android members than Linux members since Android is everywhere now.

It is a good idea however if we have enough knowledgeable Linux members who would contribute, if not the section would be basically dead. We are open to suggestions on how to get this started the right way to see where it may go.

Enjoy!!

it will be quite complicated to put all topics in one thread, because Linux is more complicated than windows ; we will have to talk about:

- security : yes we have some issues too
- hardware: Linux is not like windows, and some issues happen too , especially lack of drivers
- configuration: setting up each distro (not adding windows manager & desktops) is different matter.
- basic usage : everybody know how to use Windows basic procedures, we can't say the same about Linux
- softwares: where and how to get them

etc...etc...etc...

i think it will quite hard to put all this in one thread.

There are already thread prefixes for the OS forum...

I can create sub-forum for the sub-forum...but won't that get confusing?

i dont think so, we can then gather all Linux thread in one place (even Android too, since it is Linux); for example:

All Software > OS > Linux & Android
