Dear Linux-folk,
I am new to Linux and to these forums. I don't know much computing, to be honest.
My partner bought me a laptop with Ubuntu installed and I am trying to get some help to upgrade it.
It is Linux Ubuntu 12.04 which is an old version, and is unsupported. I am unable to install new programs or to do things like burn CDs.
I think I managed to download a newer version, but I didn't know how to run it. It needed opening as an archive.
I tried using the sudo run and sudo-apt get commands which were advised on another website, but I am only learning to use the command line very slowly.
If anyone can help with this or suggest what forum to post my question in I would be very grateful.
