### beginner stuff

Here's a beginner guide i found linuxjourney.com

Here is a beginner linux video showing some basic linux stuff as well as basic linux commands Linux Operating System - Crash Course for Beginners

### advanced

over the wire wargames is a neat capture the flag style place where you ssh to a server and run basic commands to find the "flag". though, even bandit is getting advanced for me.

### issues

running linux. You're going to run into quite a lot of issues.
Most of them solvable with a quick google search and pasting in a command. But often enough you get into a issue hell hole.
Here's a video that has a bit that pretty much shows the issue rabbit hole you can run into.
My Experience with Arch Linux (GNOME)

Linux is Too Hard - A Solution

## Community

here's a few linux communities to join that I found good or interesting

- all things linux they have a discord and xmpp chat :0 and Support forms
- Command Line Cafe
- Arch Linux Community they don't just help or talk about arch. they help with other things too. Though not as much

# Vr

- Here's a site with a ton of info on running VR. I recommend envision with WiVrn over using alvr + steamvr. async with steamvr is shit. lvra.gitlab.io

# Minecraft

here is some important java flags that in my experience. atleast on older hardware. made my server run way better. this is for windows too.

will require a bit of modification depending on the version of minecraft. eg where tp put the args

`java -Xms10G -Xmx10G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:G1NewSizePercent=30 -XX:G1MaxNewSizePercent=40 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=8M -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:G1HeapWastePercent=5 -XX:G1MixedGCCountTarget=4 -XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=15 -XX:G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent=90 -XX:G1RSetUpdatingPauseTimePercent=5 -XX:SurvivorRatio=32 -XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=1 -jar paperclip.jar nogui`

# Privacy

A lot of people say "why should i care about privacy, i have nothing to hide". Would you be okay letting many strangers watch you use the bathroom in your own home every time? Would you let me look through every one of your emails? on every account if you have multiple?

You don't always have to sacrifice a whole lot for privacy. You can choose what fits your model, but don't use that thinking above to make stupid decisions

here's a playlist on privacy starting off with why it matters Glenn Greenwald: Why Privacy Matters

"If everything you've ever said or done can be accessed, taken completely without context and used against you with zero accountability then absolutely everybody has a LOT to hide."
