@itsfoss An IRC client (e.g. HexChat). You can usually get better tech support on IRC than you can by calling Microsoft or Apple tech support on Windows/MacOS.
@itsfoss Each person has different needs, but assuming the newcomer to Linux has all of the basic applications/software preinstalled (browser, email client, office suite, etc.), and if you're using anything Debian or Ubuntu-based (since you're new to Linux), please, make sure to have Synaptic and gdebi installed. They will help you install software before you get the terminal figured out.
