Linux Essentials for Beginners
Released: November 14, 2024

Switching to Linux is more than just trying a new operating system; it's a powerful step toward taking control of your digital life. In a world where big tech companies are focused on gathering as much of your data as possible, Linux gives you a rare opportunity to escape that system. Linux is built on the principle of freedom—freedom to use, modify, and understand your technology without hidden costs or invasive tracking.

The Ivory Core section at Obsidian Core is designed with simplicity in mind, guiding you through your first steps with Linux without overwhelming technical details.


Here's what you'll find:
  • Choosing Your Linux: We recommend Debian for its stability and ease of use, making it an ideal choice for beginners. Whether you're moving from Windows or macOS, Debian provides a straightforward transition into the Linux world.
  • Getting Set Up: You'll find guides to help you install Debian and set up a working desktop environment, focusing on the essentials that make Linux easy to navigate and enjoyable to use.
  • Basic Privacy and Security: Learn how Linux can improve your privacy and security, with simple steps to keep your data under your control.
  • Everyday Linux Tips: If you're new to concepts like “file structure” (how your files are organized and accessed), we'll walk you through it all—no prior experience needed.

These guides skip the technical jargon and focus on what's important, empowering you to use Linux confidently and independently. Ivory Core provides the tools you need to make a secure, smooth start with Linux and take your first steps into a world where you're in control of your technology.
