50+ Resources For Your Linux Setup/Desktop/Machine/Brain

I’m a bad writer, so I like to direct the grammar natzees to other links out there. Today I’ll be giving out some link love, but at the same time I’d like to show you some of the links I gathered in the past to improve my Linux Experience.

And by Jean-Luc Picard, what a wondrous list it is!

There are also short descriptions, where deemed necessary. My favorites are in bold letters.

Disclaimer: I’m too damn lazy to sort them, I’m not one of those Mashable guys. Yeah, there’s a whole lot of Ubuntu stuff. Anyways, I hope you find something you need!
