What are your must-have Linux bookmarks?

GalacticStone · 2025-06-30 17:24:54

What Linux blogs or websites do you visit regularly? I thought it might be interesting to see what others are looking at in the Linux world. My list is pretty short, so I am looking to expand it.

1) DistroWatch. I think almost everybody knows about this one. I discovered BunsenLabs via DistroWatch (I think?) and I still refer to it often - https://distrowatch.com/

2) Dedoimedo. Not really a Linux blog, but often covers Linux and adjacent tech topics. I discovered this blogger while looking for ways to disable Windows Defender a long time ago. I liked his writing style, so I still check it for new articles. He wrote a review of BunsenLabs way back in 2017 that wasn't too flattering, so I guess we'll have to overlook that (lol) - https://www.dedoimedo.com/

3) OMG Ubuntu. Old habits die hard. I used this site for reference frequently during my Ubuntu days. Now I don't check it much - https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/

4) Linux Tech Lab. This site has some useful tutorials and I learned a good bit about the command line from them - https://linuxtechlab.com/

5) Linux Questions Forums. Found this one while searching the web for solutions to various issues. It's a large forum with a lot of archived posts that have proved to be a useful reference - https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/

6) Full Circle Linux Magazine. A free monthly Linux zine with some useful tutorials - https://fullcirclemagazine.org/

That's about it. I refer to other sites like Phoronix from time to time, but usually for a specific reason and not just to browse.

https://www.phoronix.com from time to time.

Usually it's whatever comes up when I do a web search.

But I do follow a few of the Debian mailing lists:

I agree with most of the above and also like Liam Proven's articles in The Register;

Dedoimedo: the thing about Dedo is he gives EVERYONE a hard time (including Microsoft). If for example the left hand edge of the "Start" button is obscured and you can't see the border properly, he'll tell you about it.

I like his articles (he posts about cars and mobile phones as well as software) but I can see why a lot of people don't.

Agree about the Dedo. He misses nothing. Had I just gone by his old review of Deuterium, I might not have tried Bunsen, but I realize he is quite nitpicky sometimes. I mainly like how he inviscerates Microsoft and consumer gadgetry like AI. But yeah, I don't agree with all of his conclusions.

Just for giggles, I went back and re-read his old 2017 review of BL. I think a few of his takes were correct, but he was also overly harsh because I don't think he wants/cares about a desktop like OpenBox because (pick 100 reasons). He seems like a perfectionist, which isn't a bad thing, but it makes getting a good review from him almost impossible.

These aren't Linux-focused by any means but have a lot of interesting techy stuff mixed in with the politics and film reviews:

One I forgot:

Lol, lately it's shellcheck, a python checker etc. etc.....it's a love/hate relationship.

A gazillion tutorials and manuals, cheat-sheets, code snippets, thousands of git pages, forum posts and more.

I need a bigger faster brain and ram, i'm starting to freeze up and spill over into swap.

Greycat's Bash FAQ:
https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ

Greg Wooledge's Bash docs are super-valuable!

Even more so now that the Bash Hacker's Wiki seems to be gone.
I found this, but I'm not yet sure if there are any snags:
