Magazines

Hi Jen, and welcome to the site. I think the magazine you mentioned is "Wired" (rather than Wire). There are many magazines available, some in print and some digital, but I don't really have a recommendation. I jump around wherever Google leads me, so I read a lot of things all over the place.

A quick Google turned up this recently updated article that gives you a starting point for Linux magazines. But this Google search is more focused on computer security, which might find you some better material. I would guess that there is a lot of free stuff available too, at least to get started.... blogs, podcasts, even YouTube videos.

Good luck!

 

Like Wiz, I've been a subscriber to Linux Format (LXF) for a number of years too. I also pick up Linux User & Developer (LU&D) from time to time as well.

Both are great. They have regular coding tutorials and sections dedicated to tinkering with things like Arduino and Raspberry Pi, plus occasional tutorials on security/penetration-testing.

Linux Format is primarily aimed at beginner and intermediate users. Sometimes they cover more advanced topics, but their primary focus tends to be more on beginners.

LU&D is very similar, but the tutorials are usually aimed more towards intermediate to advanced users and less towards beginners. But beginners should have no problems following along with most of the features.

Another good magazine is Linux Voice, which is staffed by various ex-members of the LXF team. But I haven't seen that for a while. Not sure if they're still running! :/
