dclinux.org – Learn Linux…Love the Command Line.
Welcome to your new home for all things Open Source! Whether you just “hopped” onto your first distro or you’ve been living in the terminal for years, dclinux.org is built for you.
Linux is more than just an operating system—it’s a superpower. But we know that the sheer number of Desktop Environments, the endless list of Distributions, and the mystery of the Command Line can feel like a lot to take in. That’s why we’re here.
At dclinux, we break down the complex stuff into bite-sized, actionable guides. Our goal is to help you move past the “copy-paste” phase and into a place where you truly understand how your system works. From customizing your GNOME or KDE desktop to mastering the logic of bash scripts, we’re exploring the ecosystem together.
What you’ll find here:
Deep Dives: Comprehensive looks at different OSs and DEs.
Terminal Tips: Tutorials to help you fall in love with the efficiency of the command line.
Open Source Spotlights: Reviews of the best software for your daily workflow.
The source is open, the terminal is waiting… Let’s get to work.
In this section, we break down the complexities of the “distro-verse” to help you find your perfect match. From the rock-solid stability of Debian and the cutting-edge rolling releases of Arch, to user-friendly gateways like Linux Mint, we provide deep dives into package managers, desktop environments, and hardware compatibility..
If a Linux distribution is the engine of your computer, the Desktop Environment (DE) is the dashboard, steering wheel, and interior design. Whether you prefer the sleekness of GNOME or the limitless “tweak-everything” power of KDE Plasma, we help you find the workflow that fits your style.
The terminal is the heart of Linux, offering unmatched speed and precision. In this section, we demystify the command line, moving beyond simple copy-pasting to help you master essential tools like grep, ssh, and bash scripting. Whether you’re automating workflows or managing servers, learn how to harness the raw power of the shell to take full control of your system.
Explore the best Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for your workflow. We review powerful, privacy-focused alternatives to proprietary tools—from LibreOffice to GIMP—evaluating them on performance, community support, and user freedom. Build a capable software stack that respects your privacy and puts you in control.
