Hey Suck-o members. I have recently developed a deeper thirst for knowledge in the vast field of computers and Suck-o looked like a good place to get some questions answered and meet some stand up characters.
In the last few weeks I have downloaded Ubuntu alongside my Windows OS in order to have more fun with computers and an operating system with a hint of reliability. With that said, here is what I have accomplished messing around with Ubuntu in the previous weeks:
~Lock all accounts out of root privileges by modifying my /etc/pam.d
~Main account can no longer click on any icons or open anything for that matter (it doesn't seem like that big of an issue yet and although I don't know how I managed to do it, I think I will figure out how to reverse it).
~I picked up a few cool tricks for using the terminal and have spent some time learning how the terminal can be useful and began writing basic scripts.
~I learned how shitty Windows really is!
That is but a starter list of the problems I have caused myself with good intentions and misguided curiosity. My biggest issue most likely comes from following the random thoughts of others on how to do things on a linux system without having a deeper understanding of what exactly I was doing. I feel more comfortable being part of a forum with others that share the same thirst for knowledge with a much greater understanding of the subject.
Happy to meet all who respond and look forward to checking this forum quite often

No disrespect to anything Windows. I have a history of computer issues that I feel would have been easily taken care of and prevented running linux.
Sorry DNR, I got a little too excited with that jab to Windows.
I appreciate the welcome.

There is an UNEQUAL amount of good and bad in most things, the trick is to work out the ratio and act accordingly. "The Jester"
