How to get help for the Linux operating system

How to perform certain tasks in Linux Mint depends on which of the two existing editions you have chosen. The main edition of the software is based on Ubuntu in this case. In addition, you can then choose one of the different versions. Regardless of where you go for help with problems, it is important that you specify exactly which version of the operating system you are using.

1. If you have a problem that does not necessarily need to be solved immediately, then it is a good idea to use a forum. For this purpose, there is a dedicated Linux Mint forum, where you can search for similar problems using the search function. A forum offers itself precisely because you get there from different people solution suggestions.
2. Another option is to ask a question in one of the chat rooms. Hier erhalten Sie für gewöhnlich schneller eine Antwort als in einem Forum. Den IRC-Chatraum erreichen Sie über „Menü“ > „Internet“ > „HexChat“.
