$username,

As I discussed in my 2016 Open Source Yearbook article on troubleshooting tips for the 5 most common Linux issues, Linux installs and operates as expected for most users, but some inevitably run into problems. How have things changed over the past year in this regard? Visit https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...-a-4175617067/ to find out.

Follow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/linuxquestions

Based on feedback we've added LQ T-shirts to Amazon, which are available with free Prime shipping. Visit http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...1/#post5625691 for more information.
