Hey, this is Piyush M. I am a computer science graduate from 2015. It was 2009-10 when first time I heard about Linux. Although in my area there was only Microsoft but I managed to download Linux. My first Linux was ubuntu. I was very happy to see its function and its working. I enjoyed that time without having little knowledge about computer. Since then I feel my relationship with the Linux and open source and free software. Although right now I am using Windows but still I feel very enthusiastic and energetic with Linux; even I don't know what the reason is. The reason for this mail is, I am not really very expert or well versed in any computer language or any field of computer. But I feel strong connection and relationship with Linux. I also love Python programming language. Despite of this love and attraction and affection I was unable to learn anything because I wasn't having enough time and we people in India don't have that much Linux craze and courses available. In short due to no guidance I was unable to do anything and I am on the same position since last 9 years with only few improvements. I TRIED TO INSTALL DEBIAN MANY TIMES BUT FAILED BADLY. I NEVER USED DEBIAN. I believe whoever reading this mail is far more knowledgeable and experienced than me and having good knowledge of Linux. Please help me! suggest me what can I do? how should I proceed? how should I go further in the field of Linux? and what can I do with and how to go further in python? Here everywhere Microsoft is going on and no response for open source and LINUX is there, so please help me to clear my understanding, broaden the way of my seeing. I need clear conception of what I can do and what can be done. As I mentioned there is no guidance I have here. I can contribute 2 hours daily along with the job and daily schedule. My love is python and Linux. My one more query is that there is no any alternative available in linux for Corel draw, MS office, video editing software. Although there are many claims of alternatives but the reality is harsh, they are not as simple and productive as the windows software. Please clear my view regarding this also. I just have downloaded kde manjaro and soon install it on my laptop to have new experience. I can understand this is very lengthy mail but its really important to get my doubts cleared and my vision broadened. Please reply me as soon as possible. Thanks for the time you spent on this mail. Will be happy to see you replied.

If you're novice to Linux, this course ( https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-to-linux ) is worth considering. And if you're facing any error or problem then search for solution on internet (most of them are already asked by someone on stackexchange network or forums) or ask on mailing list if you're not getting any answer and make some friends who're using linux. "I TRIED TO INSTALL DEBIAN MANY TIMES BUT FAILED BADLY." Anyone cannot help you until and unless you don't tell what's your problem.

as a CS graduate i think you have enough knowledge to install debian. it's said that installing debian is as easy as pressing Enter, that is, accepting default. of course it's not 100% true. but it's really easy.
i suggest you download and make bootable and live CD. it allow you try linux without installing on hard disk.

if you think MS Office and other commercial software are great, why try other alternative?
don't judge software according to ideology, free isn't always better than commercial
in my experience libreoffice is better because it's free

People who have no experience doing a thing believe that the thing is hard. People who are used to doing things in a certain way tend to believe that it is the only way, or the best way. -dsr-

As Will wrote, it depends on what you're trying to do. Can you say exactly what you want to do, that the Linux applications can't do, or that are more difficult with Linux tools? The FOSS philosophy says that if you find flaws in a Free Software project, the polite and useful reaction is to report the issue to the developers so that they can fix it. -- Carl Fink nitpicking@nitpicking.com Read John Grant's book, Corrupted Science: http://a.co/9UsUoGu Dedicated to ...

But one Miller64 a day sure is hard on a would be alky. Is good bbq sauce still your downfall?

You can drive at the roads comfortable speed and get 12 mpg at 35 mph peak, or you can get in a hurry showing somebody how its done, and hit 50 mph at 3 mpg. BTDT, steering with the throttle.

A word to those wise enough: Good thing to stay away from, anything running android. One of their apps, Samsung-Pay who apparently wants to be a paypal, is who phished me on my landline 3 weeks ago, forceing me to stop that card and get a new one. They already knew _everything_ but the 3 digit number on the back of the card! Fortunately, I was quick enough they didn't get anything. > > -- -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Still, I have learnt a lot from your posts - mainly in the "how not to do it" category. :) Cheers, Brian.
