Hi, i just got here. I started trying out Linux by the recommendation of my professor, and I am a bit hesitant so i ended up dual booting between win11 and EoS. I am studying computer science and i do a lot of my things in Web developing and are learning .NET at the moment. I have a bunch of question so i don’t know what to put but i plan to get answers at a later time. But i am worrying that my partition 80GB and will it break or not, but it if does then i’ll do it again with more space. Messing with this OS is fun and learning how to get stuff i want on here via the terminal is fun.
Do expect some weird English when i am asking stuff, i am not fluent and only learned English like 3 years ago from scratch for college.

This is a very friendly and helpful community. The members on the forum are eager to help if they can.
What is your native language? Your English seems fine enough to communicate.

Welcome to the purple side!
Don’t worry, at the beginning your questions might sound dumb to you, but asking is a very good way to learn and get better, and that’s always a good idea. It helps if you familiarize yourself with how to ask good questions. Short introduction: Offer good information about your question/problem, and document what you already tried and what the result was.
So ask away, the forum is full of nice people that will try to help you.

I’m from the UK, and your English is perfectly fine to me, I can understand all of it perfectly. And welcome to the forum, we are able to help with questions.
Just remember you are not dumb (Assuming this was what you meant in the title), it’s just early stages of the learning process, the fact you have questions and want to learn more and verifying what you are doing is correct first proves the opposite of dumb and is good planning and thought process.
I assume this partition question will be among the questions you will ask at a later time.

welcome to forum 
i were dumb also, i got net connection 2002-2003 and didnt know any english, i learned it from movies and chatting in some game forums.
being inquisitive is a good thing 
thats what i did, messing with unix and linux, i still have a soft spot for OpenBSD, actually i might install transparent bridge using OpenBSD.

Hey! Good to have you with us, - best way to learn is by playing, experimenting, breaking and fixing. Before you know it, you’ll be flying like it’s second nature. Enjoy the journey, keep on learning!

Don`t worry, everybody here has begun any time. And many of us didn´t have such nice community to startup.
Ask whatever your question is : there are no dumb questions, but many dumb answers … (not here

Hi, @ylabao nice to have you here. A forum like this is indeed meant for questions, so that others with more experience can help out; there’s no such thing as a dumb question. Not asking a question when in need of help *is* dumb though.

if you did this install yourself ^^ and were successful then you are the furthest thing from dumb.
80GB a great partition.
Your professor seemed to know you would like exploring linux–that is cool.
