Need Linux help? My favorite forums, groups, and mailing lists when I need support


When I'm stuck in Linux or just want to learn about a distribution, I turn to these community resources first.

When I first started using Linux in the late 90s, I turned to old-school solutions (such as bulletin boards) and found all the help I needed. On the occasional instance when I need to find a solution to a problem, I generally turn to one of three things: Forums, social media groups, and mailing lists. Forums are a great place not only to find help, but also to make connections with other users, developers, and distribution or environment maintainers.
