    Kubuntu Noob to Expert

    I don't know where else to post this question, and it's too open ended for a concise forum post, so I figured the Cafe was the next best place.

    As the post title indicates, I'm a Noob for about the last 10 years. But, I don't want to be a noob anymore. I just don't know where to start.

    I'm interested in building a new Desktop PC with only Kubuntu as the OS. I did this about 10 years ago, and it was largely successful. The PC was damaged in a flooding event and I never replaced it. I've been using leftover laptops and just installing Kubuntu on those with the bootable USB. I even tried Groovy on my 2013 Macbook, and it's been nearly perfect since the install. A couple of hiccups, but it's working great. I can't take any credit, it's all thanks to the Kubuntu developers.

    That said, I want to be more than a "noob", but I have no idea where to start. I have been researching hardware for my next build, and I have found that there are tons of incompatibilities. So finding the right hardware combination is an effort, but one that I'm ill-equipped to take on right now.

    I'm NOT asking anyone to give me a build list. That's just silly.

    I am trying to learn more about the Linux operating system/kernel, why it does what it does, and how it's different than other OS. More importantly, I want to understand how the OS interacts with the hardware, so that I can figure out what is important in my hardware selection and what is not.

    After all that, and my long-winded introduction; my question is, Where do I start? Is there advanced Kubuntu/Ubuntu documentation that I can review? Can I just volunteer to be a developer and learn as I go?

    If you've had the patience to read this far, thank you for your time. And thank you in advance for your response.

    Best regards,

    YouTube has a lot of videos on the subject. Type in Linux for Beginners and you'll get a whole lot of tutorials--I've just checked it out. A suggestion: try 'The Complete Linux Course, Beginner to Power User.' I downloaded that awhile ago and it should suit your needs.

      Thanks for your post @gshockxcc. We have a good set of knowledgeable members who can offer assistance (I'm not in their class).

      If you're going to be building your own system, please let us know whether you are aiming at a desktop or a laptop. I've built both, back in the day, but today I would recommend going to a laptop platform.

      There are plenty of used systems out there if you want to keep costs lower, however laptops do limit your choices on what kinds of components you can install. That being said, I'd still go with the laptop.

      I've had many laptops and suggest that you stay with one of the major manufacturers. Hp, Compac, etc. There are some caveats to watch for, such as compatible drivers for video and wifi. For example, my current laptop is an HP Pavilion and it has an older Broadcom wifi chip (bcm43142) which is simply not supported by Linux drivers. I use an external USB wifi adapter instead.

      As you shop, please do feel free to ask for feedback on makes and models. Members are more than willing to offer their opinions .

      [edit] my laptop is the HP Pavilion (not Latitude)

        I'm surprised to hear that. Hardware incompatibilities are important for laptops and pre-builts, but for a desktop built with discrete components I'd check a GPU and maybe search a motherboard model with "linux". Maybe naivety is showing.

        Which neatly leads to a reply to your main question. We're all noobs, in some sense. I most definitely am a noob. No-one can be an expert in everything, especially the deep stack that is Kubuntu. (At the bottom there's semiconductor physics and silicon, through lots of electronics, OS, graphics, UI...)

        My prejudice, if you can call it that, is that the truly "noob" is the one who does not firstly think, and secondly search, and thirdly ask. And I observe myself and see that that prejudice is unfair, I don't know that person's circumstances.

        If you've got the time, I suggest lurking in kubuntuforums.net, affectionately known as KFN. I've learned heaps here.

          Do you want to build BOTH your PC and Kubuntu from source as well?

          Building Kubuntu from source is well beyond your capabilities if you do not have programming fu. So I am going to assume you will be installing from an ISO that you downloaded.

          The next question is "What is your use case?" Gaming? Accounting? Just browsing and emailing? Learning and practicing programming and database administration? Which hardware you choose depends on your use case.

          Ubuntu lumps desktops and laptops into one catagory: Desktops. Canonical created a certification page on which they list makes and models they have certified to run with Ubuntu 20.04: https://certification.ubuntu.com/desktop
          which is their list of manufacturers who ship their computers preloaded with Ubuntu. These are new or relatively new machines. IF you choose an older Ubuntu ISO then the list of machines are those released at the same time as the ISO that were also preinstalled with Ubuntu. Following the ISO releases into the past gives you a collection of hardware that is compatible with Ubuntu. My laptop is an Acer Aspire V3-771G, which I purchased new in 2012. It has run every release of Kubuntu since 9.04 Alpha flawlessly, and continues to this day running 20.04.2. Since 2004 I've only used Acer hardware and have never had problems with it. But, I've also installed Kubuntu on Samsung, Toshiba, HP, Dell and other hardware for various folks and had equal success with those makes.

          An ISO is a window on the world of Linux. Even at a size of 4GB+ it is too small to include the drivers for every make and model of every computer ever made. Computers released after the ISO was released may have hardware problems because drivers for the new hardware weren't available when the ISO was released. And, to make room for hardware most recently released before the ISO was, drivers for older hardware are removed, reducing the ISO's compatibility with older hardware. A prime example is the removal of 32bit kernels and drivers.
          Thus, sometime in the future I expect my 2012 Acer, which is currently working perfectly with the 20.04 release, to fall out of the compatibility windows and I'll be stuck with the last version that still runs on my hardware. But, I'm 79 so my hardware may outlive me.

          IMO, and for DIY purposes, a desktop is more practical for "build it yourself" projects. You can choose your case, your mobo, your CPU, your GPU, your RAM, your drives, your display, your WIFI, your printer, your keyboard, your mouse, your UPS, etc... Your tradeoffs will be price vs compatibility, and you'll have to do Internet research on each component to make sure it is Ubuntu 20.04 compatible.

          Learn more about the Linux OS? If you are going to go to all that time and trouble why not simple study for a Linux A+ certificate and formalize your knowledge? Here's a link to a study guide on Amazon.
          A link to a bunch of Linux related books on Amazon is here.
          Have fun and good luck!

              TWP, thanks for the comments. I tend to go the opposite direction and prefer the Desktops. I'm also partial to the AMD chips, and I've been looking at the Ryzen chipsets. Selecting the MoBo, graphics cards, and memory is where things start to get messy for me. I will post back with some specifics and go from there. Thanks for your help.

                Jlittle, could be my naivete as well. The reason I stated the incompatibilities is because I selected a chip (AMD Ryzen), then a MoBo (ASUS - don't recall the model), and then started picking some RAM. I was using Newegg's Build a PC tool. When I got to the RAM, I wanted 64 for some advanced computations, ANSYS, Matlab, Octave, etc. I also wanted to use the Desktop as a server for OpenVPN, so I can access my home network from away when I'm traveling for work (I still don't know how to do that yet). But the G.Skill RAM that I wanted wasn't one of the approved models for the MoBo mfr. So I had to keep going back and forth between the available RAM options and the verified RAM according to ASUS for that model MOBO. I reconfigured a couple of times and found that I was always in some kind of situation where the RAM I wanted wasn't verified for the board I had selected. I also found that once I changed to a board that worked the AMD chip that I had selected didn't work with that board, so I had to select another model, and all the available options were out of stock. After a couple of hours, I figured that I better know WHY I was selecting the hardware, instead of just guessing because it looked good in the box, or the name sounded cool.

                Ryzen. G.Skill. How can you go wrong?

                Or, maybe I just have no idea what I'm doing, and I'm showing my ignorance on the internet for all to see.

                I'm down for "lurking" in KFN. Whether I've got time or not is another story.

                Thanks for all the comments. I truly appreciate you taking the time.

                  GG,
                  Obviously, I do not have programming "fu". I'm not even sure what that is. I think it's a joke, alluding to the idea that programming is like kung fu, and you need to have skills to battle in this domain. I don't. So my "fu" is not strong ... if I even have it.

                  Someday, yes, I would like to build a linux system from scratch, but I'm not there yet. I don't even understand why I like Linux (Kubuntu) better than windows. I just know that I do because it "works", and things don't break unless I break them.

                  My used case is engineering computations, ANSYS, Matlab, Octave, thermodynamics, chemistry, etc.

                  I'm running Groovy (20.10) on an HP Pavillion laptop, and a Dell Vostro 1520, circa 2009. Both seem to be working perfectly as well. I have been running some form of Ubuntu since 2007, but I honestly can't remember what versions.

                  This gets at the hear of my question:
                  you'll have to do Internet research on each component to make sure it is Ubuntu 20.04 compatible.
                  How do I do that? I know, that sounds like a stupid question, but for someone who's never looked into this before, I don't know what I'm searching for. Do I just do a simple internet search for "will AMD Ryzen chip work on Ubuntu 20.10"? Or is there something specific that I'm looking for when I find the chip specs?

                  Don't get me wrong, Ubuntu has been near bullet proof right out of the box, so to speak. Anything that wasn't working, as long as I had an internet connection, I could use the forums, find packages, etc, and get it working. But I don't want to get "unlucky" and box myself into a corner by getting a chip and mobo with RAM or a graphics card that doesn't play nice.

                  Learn more about the Linux OS? If you are going to go to all that time and trouble why not simple study for a Linux A+ certificate and formalize your knowledge? Here's a link to a study guide on Amazon.

                  Have fun and good luck!
                  That's a great idea. I didn't even know that was an option. If I can make the time, I might just do that. I'm not trying to start a new profession, but I want to know as much as I can - what is practical for my needs.

                  Thanks for all of your suggestions. Tremendous help.

                    Your intuition about "fu" was spot on!

                    That's been my experience with Kubuntu since 2009. I do a lot of tweaking and experimenting. This evening I noticed that ".../snapd" was in my PATH environment variable. I'd purged snap and chromium from my system and removed all of their services. I edited "/etc/environment" to remove it and noticed that ":/sbin:" was in PATH too. Never saw that before. So, I took it out and deleted that link (/sbin --> /usr/sbin). Then I logged out. Couldn't log back in and rebooting didn't help. So, I booted from the LiveUSB stick I ALWAYS keep in my pants watch pocket. Once I had a desktop I opened a Konsole and "sudo -i" to root. There I did "blkid" to make sure the LiveUSB could see my drives and then used "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" to mount my system. With it mounted I did "mv /mnt/@ /mnt/@old" and then "btrfs su snapshot /mnt/@_rw /mnt@". The @_rw subvolume is my instant backup of my @ subvolume. I shutdown, removed the LiveUSB stick and rebooted. Things came back up normally. Ya gotta love BTRFS! I did some looking around about the /sbin link and found this. Never noticed those links till this evening.

                    Quickly let me say that you'll need at least an 8 core CPU (each core is a thread, 16 core if you can afford it), at least 16GB of RAM (32 or 64 would be better) and an Nvidia GPU with as much RAM on it as you can afford. GPU's make great compuational engines!

                    WOOT! A man after my own heart! I taught Gen Chem, Org Chem, Physics, Calc I, II and III, DiffEq, Anatomy&Physiology and Microbiology (I have major hours in all those fields) as an Assoc Prof of Science at nearby college for 10 years. Thermo is one of my favorite interests.

                    For several years I used Maxima, then I switched to Sage. Sage was great until it was switched to requiring a cloud account. About a year ago I was casting about for something to replace Sage (which is an awesome tool if you don't mind having your stuff in the cloud. It also is geared for a classroom environment where students create subaccounts under their teacher's account and he can monitor them all.) and saw a YT video by Giles McMullen-Klein, a PhD in Physics. He uses Anaconda with Python. A list of his videos is here. I was intrigued and watch several of his videos relating to Anaconda and Python as tools for data analysis, graphing, tensorflow analysis, and a host of other topics. There are a lot of Anaconda YT videos that explain about everything from installation to building a UFO ... well, not that far, yet.

                    Also, Anaconda comes with Jupyter as the notebook front end to a variety of math, data and science libraries. I just love it! It's not in the repository but you can get it from here:
                    https://linuxhint.com/install-anacon...hon-on-ubuntu/

                    The software is here: https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/An...inux-x86_64.sh
                    It is an sh script. I followed the steps listed on the linuxhints.com page and they worked beautifully. Once installed, all updating and library downloads are handled from within Anaconda.

                    Searching on the Internet is an art. You can being by using the phrase "how to use Google to search the internet" on Google. (I prefer StartPage or DuckDuckGo because they don't track your internet usage).

                        Indeed! Anaconda includes R, and much, much more.
                        One can install R in conda by using:
                        conda install r-essentials

                        I used the information on this page to install Anaconda:
                        https://www.digitalocean.com/communi...n-ubuntu-20-04


                        Here is the Anaconda Individual Edition documentation: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/
                        Here is a handy Anaconda cheat sheet: https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda...heatsheet.html

                        If one likes the CLI then "conda" is the tool to use. For those liking a GUI then anaconda-navigator is for them. One can install the GUI by using
                        conda install -c anaconda anaconda-navigator

                        To update conda one uses
                        conda update conda

                        and to update anaconda one uses
                        conda update anaconda

                        One can create customized environments and call them independently. Each can have their own libraries, tools and Python version. The base environment is called "base"
                        Code:
                        [FONT=monospace][COLOR=#000000]:[/COLOR][COLOR=#5454ff][B]~/Documents/PythonProjects[/B][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]$ conda env list [/COLOR]
                        # conda environments: 
                        # 
                        base                  *  /home/jerry/anaconda3[/FONT]
                        I can start an environment by using conda:
                        conda activate base
                        and deactivate it by using
                        conda deactivate

                        One can create an environment using
                        conda create --name my_env python=3
                        (python is set to three because the dev environment is "anaconda3. Ubuntu default python version is 3.7)

                        Then, activate it using conda activate my_env
                        Once active you can add or remove libararies to create just the environment you want.

                        To start Jupyter:
                        First, activate an environment. Start FireFox Then issue
                        jupyter notebook
                        It will have the following URL: http://localhost:8888/tree
                        To close it hit the Quit button, then the "x" on the box saying it has shut down, then delete the tab it is in.

                        Here is what my Anaconda listing contains:
                        Code:
                        [FONT=monospace][COLOR=#000000]:[/COLOR][COLOR=#5454ff][B]~/Documents/PythonProjects[/B][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]$ conda list [/COLOR]
                        # packages in environment at /home/jerry/anaconda3: 
                        #

                          Hi
                          If you want to do "hardware" i have installed Kubuntu on just about every piece of second hand, and a couple of times new, hardware since before I became a member here.

                          So, if you want to start with a new piece of hardware and learn how Kubuntu, or Ubuntu, or Linux "interacts" with hardware is to look up at he Linux hardware compatability website whether the hardware has already been vetted as being compatible or not.

                          If here is a problem it is "usually" a problem with headphones for laptops or printer/scanner drivers for the absolutely latest and greatest devices. HP is usually a go to but HP had the syndrome of forcing you to use their cartridges or messing up your refillables, but, generally, HP works fine. I have an old HP laserjet 6 that is still chugging out prints and also a HP 4520 Envy dual that works fine also.

                          The problem with older equipment is that there really are, usually, 2 ways to "do things" and you will get, usually, two dirvers to try.

                          So...HERE IS A TIP THAT I HAVE NEVER TOLD ANYONE ABOUT PRINTER DIRVERS.

                          Pick one and try it out by...

                          Typing ONLY the letter "A" in the top left hand corner of the word processor page. if it prints correctly then go for it.

                          DO NOT try to print a "page of text" or a "test page". if it is the wrong driver it can literally print out several dozen sheets printing ascii code for all that text.

                          As to learning the OS.

                          The very simplest way is just to download and install it and start playaing around with it. Ask at the forums after typing queries into the search field.

                          if you want to CODE for the OS, then, yeah, you need to take a class at college, maybe...

                          BUT just remember this. MOST of the present day "coders" did NOT get their start in college. they just starting tearing an OS apart and putting it back together.

                          And the easiest way to "self teach" is to do "Linux from Scratch" for which I provide a linky. I would literally recommend that you go to a "computer place" that has a "friendly person" and ask the person to install a seperate hard drive upon which you can install LFS.

                          And you DO THIS BY LEAVING OFF THE SIDE OF THE CASE and have the computer person PHYSICALLY SHOW YOU HOW TO PLUG AND UNPLUG the SATA plugs.

                          And then PAY THE PERSON and ADD IN A NICE TIP.

                          Thus, you can, safely, unplug your main OS and plug in the other hard drive and start building LFS without having even the least worry about messing up your main install and...

                          you are familiraizing yourself with the "guts" of the "hardware"...

                          so you are becoming experienced with both the hardware, and "Kubuntu" and also the coding of "Linux".

                          Just some thoughts, of little worth.

                          Here is a linky to Linux from Scratch.

                          http://linuxfromscratch.org/

                          Here is a thread here at the forum about my "out of the box, hanging on a wall" computer that I assembled it includes a picture.

                          Here is a relatively good article at ARS TECHNICA about building your own computer.

                              If you want to do some hard homework understanding Gnu/Linux, one way is to do a Gentoo install. Not to replace Kubuntu, but on a scratch drive or a spare partition somewhere.
