|
|
As a new Linux user, you can make it easier to work with Linux, by getting a version of Linux that has a desktop.
Using Linux with a desktop makes it much easier to run popular Linux software programs and get to the Linux command line prompt to run Linux commands.
| |
Linux Training Tips: There are several different Linux desktops and two of the most popular are the KDE and GNOME desktops. |
|
| |
All Linux desktops provide the same general functionality (menus, icons and organization), but they have a different "look and feel" when using them. |
|
| |
Try working with a few different desktops to see which one(s) you like best! |

Running Linux Software Programs from a Linux Desktop
There are thousands of amazing Linux software programs you can use!
To run a Linux software program from a desktop, you simply click on the icon for the program or select the program from a menu.
For example, on the KDE desktop, in SUSE Linux, you click on the Konqueror icon to run the Konqueror (web browser / file manager) program.
As another example, from the GNOME desktop, in Ubuntu Linux, you do the following steps to run the OpenOffice word processing program named Writer:
Select the Applications menu ; then select Office ; and then select Word Processor.

Running Linux Commands from a Linux Desktop
To learn how to work with Linux, such as do Linux system administration tasks, you need to learn how to run Linux commands.
To run commands from a desktop, you just open a terminal emulation window, also known as a Linux terminal or Linux console.
Once you have opened a terminal (emulation window), you can see the Linux command line prompt and you can run Linux commands.
| |
Linux Training Tips: When you use a Linux desktop, you can open multiple Linux terminal / console windows and work as a "regular" (non-root) Linux user in some and work as the root (a.k.a. superuser, su) in others. You can also size and move Linux terminal emulation windows. |
|
As part of your Linux training, remember that the best way to learn Linux - and learn to administer a Linux system, is to run Linux commands.
Linux video tutorials are an excellent way to learn how to use Linux commands and concepts, so you can get easy Linux training!
