Welcome! New myself here, and trying to figure out how these corners of internet work. Have been looking link like that for some time, I appreciate it a lot

Well this is always a two-way-street. With freedom you get responsibility. Open-source and user-friendliness comes with a cost. Sometimes really simple problems could create a storm like headache. Although I must admit Linux is not that safe as it used to be in old-days, but still more secure I hope. I would never trade back to Windows, although I am lacking high-skills to work out every problem myself as well time to learn every aspect and corner of Linux to make it more user-friendlier for me. I am grateful for the enormous community out there, who´s help is appreciated. The only downside is the lacking of High-end products-programs. Most alternatives, although free, do not reach the level of commercial ones.

Hello! I am grateful for the large and quality community here. I apologize in advance as my knowledge and PC-skills are not in such level, that I would be able to contribute here in a short run. But will help where I can starting from small things, even if it would be report a post, link etc. How I found my way here? - As a student from a poorer country, I lack finance to get the programs I need, and this community seems reliable to solve my problems. Even in case for just studying and learning the basics - so in later life one could buy them. Even the Test/Trial versions are not enough always. therefore I have to manage around the market Regarding the fact, that will not be using them for commercial use, but scientific analysis just for public community. And Libraries are not open at nights when I do my next days homework - Second world problems! - I am a fan of Open-Source and true believer of Community-Developing/improving. Although not exactly High-Skilled in PC. I was converted to Linux few years ago. I can manage my ways around Terminal and get the things done, and thus far most cases Forum-Community is nice enough to help - and from there I have always felt I need to give back something to community myself and slowly I have already started being a basic small-help tutor for newbies on Ubuntu. Linux, R-Projects - are best results and examples of Open-Source. Veteran In StackExchange Forums... and Forums fan in general since the 2000s and childhood - as far as they are quality-worth! Why am I here? - Need a little help with few programs in field of statistics. As they are high-priced, rare to get, and hard to get working sometimes. Maybe one day I can return the favor. Already sent a few letters to regarding few topics to related persons. Hope to contribute, share and blend in! Sipsik
