I'd like to expand a bit on what @terdon wrote above. As a frequent poster on U&L, we see all types of questions from Scripting Questions to configuration questions to network questions, and then the occasional theory questions. I linked that question to show that those answers come with experience and use of Linux in general.

Posters there tend to be experienced regardless of distribution, and therefore we tend to lead answers into the non-GUI realm, because with experience you find that it's easier to edit the config files, than it is to "fight the GUI."

Honestly, we don't care what distribution you use, but realize that when you post a question there that what some of us may tell you to do to fix your issue may be outside of your Ubuntu comfort zone. If you, as a question asker don't feel comfortable expanding your linux knowledge by stepping outside your comfort zone at this point, then the question belongs in AskUbuntu, because Ubuntu has GUI support for nearly every major tool or task.

On the other hand, if you're ok editing files with elevated sudo commands and gedit, nano, or vim, and reading comments, along with man pages for commands you may have never seen, then we invite you to read and post questions.
