I'm an old hand at computer repair. A little too old. I just got a job in tech support and computer repair. Where are some tutorials aimed at lower level (as in more detailed) technical people for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and newer Linuxes?
What's new in X, new command line arguments, and so forth
Congratulations, you'll have to learn a lot of systemDICK cancer, udev cancer, and dbus cancer.
I don't think X has changed much, it's pretty old and stable by now.
And as for Wangblows 8 & 10, the important stuff has stayed pretty much the same as in Wangblows 7, but the user interface and level of spy/bloatware has changed for the worse.
If you're an old hand from the 90s, Linux will probably look a bit better (as in more supported) but at mentioned above, you'll need to learn about systemd. X hasn't really changed, other than some of the Xorg developers are trying to supplant it with Wayland.
Windows is pretty much shit now. They backported all the botnet telemetry shit from Win10 into Win7/8.1. Win10 is the result of the reaction of the Win8 retardedness. Win10 has a poorly thought out menu hierarchy. You'll find yourself having to jump between the retard menu and the (hidden) older ones.
It depends on what you're trying to do. Usually just doing web searches will link you to information on how to do things. If you're looking for general overview kind of stuff, then just spending some time looking around on wikipedia will be ok.
You will run into that if you use any of the mainstream distros (and their derivatives).
Also for linux CLI commands use:
[command] --help (or sometimes -h)
For more detailed information:
man [command]
For Windows you'll probably need to install it (in a VM) and play around with it. There's online Microsoft help pages but they suck because you can tell that they were written by someone with a drone mentality.
>>3184 True, but you'll probably run into it at some point so it wouldn't hurt to know how to interact with it.
It's likely places will require you to standardize on a specific distro for servers so you can't pick the one you like.
Convincing brainlet co-workers why systemd is suspect, may fall on deaf ears.
"Muh bleeding edge" hipsters will squint at you through their rectangular glasses if you bring it up.
There is no point in learning Windows, they are changing all controll panel/settings layouts on every single release and even some updates. There is no ther way as just to google.
