hallo, my nickname is newic I come in peace. I am 33years i really appreciate this forum since many years but never create account cause my English was so bad but I will try to make efforts. If case of problems its possible to say the computer is responsable.
seeyou in Linuxquestions.
Due to the nature of the forum, and the world-wide appeal of Linux, there are quite a few members here that the English language is their second language. Thus, do not be too concerned about whether or not your English is bad.
If you can present your technical problem with the computer, and terminal coding, as required, that may be enough for somebody to figure out your problem.
I am new to Linux. I am currently using Windows 10 on my laptop but I have a 40Gb partition ready for Debian. I know, I know... most of you will tell me to go for a less complicated distro but I am willing to do the hard work and anyway I don't need to do much.
I am happy to be here and I thank you all in advance for your help.
Would you please recommend some group to start with? Thanks!

Provided you are willing to do the hard work, and in particular some learning, I don't think there's anything wrong with starting with Debian. While the first distro I ever used from memory was Ubuntu, it wasn't long (from memory) before I switched to a mid-range distro myself (in my case openSUSE rather than Debian).
In any case, do you mean "groups" as in: "user groups" ? If so, don't use the "wheel" group if you care about security. I'd suggest either create a user group with the same name as your normal user account, or stick your normal user in the "users" group if it exists.
