Hello Muhammad!
and for more real-time interaction I like to hang out on the #linux channel on
liberachat IRC servers,
or, if it's debian specific, on the #debian channel (also on liberachat).
Some specific software communities prefer to use other IRC servers like oftc
(#dovecot for example).
Debian official IRC channels are now pretty much all on oftc. liberachat is
fine - and you may find the same folk are also on #debian in both -
but you may well get directed to ask again in oftc.
Oh! thanks for the heads up!
I haven't been there since a little while now,
so I might have missed the migration.
I also like to take text notes in an outliner software.
It saves me countless hours of search time.
This. Take notes. Before you go editing files to change things, copy the
existing file to a backup copy. That way, you can always rename the backup
copy and replace the edited file contents with the original file contents
as they were before you started changing anything.
For that kind of notes, my servers usually have a /root/ChangeLog file where I
document all the changes I've made,
and why I made them.
If anything goes wrong,
I read the latest entries in the ChangeLog and try to figure out what changes
led to the possible consquences.
But I was referring to general tips like the usual commands,
the common command line options, the common configuration options...
For example, here's an imgur album[1] where I show my emacs cheat-sheet
in emacs itself
(I'm using emacs as the outliner software)
Best,
