Hello
by wlbates from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56WNP)
I am a long time member, but I have never been active on this forum. I have been using Ubuntu Linux since 2008, and I love it. I can't imagine going back to Windows, but sometimes...
My biggest gripe is that when I reach out for help on Launchpad, or google other help topics, I get frustrated because many of the remedies are written for people who have extensive programming knowledge. I find that many of the people who do offer help with issues get a little impatient when I don't know what this or that means. I have no clue about pulling up terminals and putting in commands, and unless someone walks me through it step by step, I won't get it. Is there a section of this forum for people who need training wheels?
