I installed Debian, but the resolution is 640x800 and is no longer done, it does not go to the Internet, although there is a connection on the local network, there is no sound either, there is no pre-installed software. How can I do this in order to eliminate all these shortcomings, namely: install software, drivers, connect to the Internet?

In Linux, I am a complete kettle. I can only install Debian and only learn how to call the console. By the way, at the same time I will be happy to answer the question: Why are viruses not taking root in Linux, and why is it done so that all operations must be performed from the command line, because then it almost does not need a graphical interface?

Thank you all in advance for your reply!

Please correct the question so that it describes the specific problem with sufficient detail to determine the appropriate answer. Do not ask a few questions at once. See “How to ask a good question?” For clarification. If the question can be reformulated according to the rules set out in the certificate , edit it .

    I will answer you as a person who once migrated from mandriva to debian.

    Yes, at first everything was somehow incomprehensible, clumsy and inconveniently tuned (or rather, not at all tuned).

    1. Configuring the interface. (Mana, Google, docks, reading) * n times. Repeat until enlightenment comes. If it does not come, we go to the forums and torment everyone with such questions. At least for a start, it was possible to ping the router, then the local network (if available), then we learn what the routing table is, read, think, set up.

    2. We connect the Internet. You learn what connection you have and google on this topic. In my case, the Google request looked like a "pptp connection in debain". I was helped by a script laid out by mr.Peabody for Vpn from Corbin.

    3. Is the Internet connected? Then we put firewood on the video, the Google request looks like "installing nvidia drivers in debian"

    4. If there are NTFS disks, we fasten them. As you turn to Google, you will guess it yourself, probably.

    5. About installing programs, run from the root synaptic is a prog manager, it puts / removes them, resolves conflicts / dependencies (if it can)

    From now on - Google is your best friend and search engine numer adyn)

    As indicated by comrade above - will have to google a lot. At one time, when I was in front of a similar situation, I took a piece of paper and a piece of paper, and in order of importance I wrote out everything I didn’t like and everything that didn’t work. Of course, the order then changed, but understanding was added. And so, by crossing out a fad after a fad, I settled in, dressed up and got a sweet :)

    And there are viruses in the Linux world. And there are vulnerabilities. Only now ordinary users with them almost never occur. These most ordinary users do not sit under the root, respectively, and the virus does not do much evil and does not harm the OS. In addition, most software comes from official repositories, which reduces the likelihood of downloading infected software. "Linux viruses spread through" Wow! Let me see! "(C)

    The graphical interface is for users. This is one of the OS's security tools, both from the attacker and from the user - the less settings the user sees, the less likely that he will "accidentally click." and the console, in this case, is a unified configuration tool. Yes, and it's cool to look from the side =)

      I think the main thing to understand is - why do I need Linux? What is Debian delivered, 6.04? Completely detailed on the information content http://www.debian.org/index.ru.html Read and understand.
