To start off, I love programming but I get bored when reading the same old std::cout std::cin crap....
You guys know of any decent book or online guide that teaches C++ in linux in a USEFULL way? I don't want to learn how to do simple command-line junk, I want to learn how to make GUI interfaces and all for KDE 4 and ... I guess windows if I need to...
Learn C++ with Linux; any decent way ???

Maybe you should be searching not specifically for C++, but for GTK or FLTK?
KDE uses Qt.
I've always found the problem when you search for C++ books/tuts is that everyone seems to assume you're a Winblows guy using Visual WTF. I ended up buying a generic C++ (Sams teach yourself C++ in 21 days) book but it doesn't cover any of the GUI libraries because at the end of the day, they're just APIs with their own documentation, assuming you understand the language.
