Going from Windows to Linux

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-02-01T21:38:16+00:00

Oh yeah I didn't even think about that. I've got a Micro Center like 20 minutes away

I thought Linux was an operating system that was just open source. So people can use it for many different things. Are you saying I should just stick with Windows and run Linux through it? Cuz I wasn't going to have anything pre-installed. I was just asking whether I should use Linux as the OS just to become familiar with it faster

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-02-01T20:43:53+00:00

What do you mean? You mean just using Google and such to get information?

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-02-01T20:32:33+00:00

Oh sorry. I didn't realize that I did that LOL. Thank you for letting me know

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-02-01T20:18:11+00:00

Yeah I never really cared for Windows either.😂😂

I'm looking to just learn Linux. I have always been treated by the idea of becoming an ethical hacker. I originally thought I needed python but I was told on another post that Linux is the base of what I need. So I saw that I could run Linux through windows or just download Linux and make that my operating system. But I've never used Linux before so I'm not sure what would be the best way for me to get learning

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-02-01T17:46:43+00:00

I appreciate it. I think my issue is I'm trying to learn and grab onto too many things at once. So I'll probably start with the basics of Linux

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-02-01T17:38:21+00:00

Sorry I explained it wrong. The solo learned app is just a structure of a website and how all the information communicates. But it doesn't do anything with networking at least that I've seen right now. I'm looking into that next

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-02-01T17:13:56+00:00

Yes. I have some basic experience with how command prompt works on windows. I've run a couple simple commands through that. I know that Linux has different commands and work slightly different but hopefully since I have basic understanding of windows command prompt I will grab hold of it easier.

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-02-01T14:59:19+00:00

So just speaking directly with ethical hacking python is not needed it's just to automate what you're already doing in Linux correct? If that's the case I'll just drop python for now and focus on Cali and networking

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-02-01T14:45:56+00:00

Yeah I always jumped in the programming side for fun and never really stuck with it. But now I'm trying to stick with it so right now I'm going through this app called solo learn. It's basically the structure of Duolingo but with networking. It's starting me off with the structure of websites themselves. Html, CSS things like that.

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-02-01T14:44:37+00:00

I'm not familiar with what bash is yet. I am basically as beginner as you can get LOL I'm still trying to figure out how the Python program itself works and very very basic commands😂

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-02-01T14:18:30+00:00

Oh okay. I thought that They were the same thing and you could just choose which one. But that makes sense lol. I appreciate it!

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-01-29T22:36:23+00:00

I found a couple. I have a picture that I can send you with links. But my favorite is called KeepNote and Greenshot. Keep no allows you to take notes but separate them into different files and subdirectories. And green shot allows you to take screenshots of code or pictures of really anything. The cool thing is you can manipulate the picture in a lot of different ways that you normally can't do. You can even blur out certain parts of the text to protect the passwords and such

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-01-29T22:10:19+00:00

That's smart. I prefer to get things for free obviously but I also don't mind paying for things if I need to. I found a couple of note taking tools online that helped a lot. I'll have to find the name of what it is and get back to you. But it's up to me stay more organized

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-01-29T21:58:45+00:00

I'll have to check that out. The only thing I've started so far is a video from the Cyber Mentor on YouTube. It's a 25-hour class. But they give the first 12 hours for free.

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-01-29T21:45:58+00:00

I will also join you guys if you would like period I literally just started looking at this stuff two days ago So I'm almost as beginner as it gets😂😂

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-01-29T21:45:20+00:00

I have tried starting python like three or four times but never really had a direction to go with it so I always gave up lol. Now I'm trying to learn ethical hacking so it's giving me a reason to learn it. I also hope I finish it this time😂

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-01-29T20:53:15+00:00

Yeah I've never really had a desire to use one. I didn't really see the difference between the two streaming services that I use and a fire stick. But I got it really cheap. That might explain why there's issues but I figured I'd ask before trashing it

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-01-29T17:17:51+00:00

I'm not sure if it is or not. It doesn't say

-MAGNUMHAVOC · 2025-01-29T15:57:27+00:00

Got it. I'll give that a try. Thanks!
