Hi and welcome to the forum.
I think this should help you out

Thanks. I followed all of the steps however, unfortunately it is still not working. Everything went through in the terminal but no icons or anything were installed. I still cannot open dash-qt.
I look forward to getting into mining and running a masternode

I'm not a linux user but I added a few mining links for starting off in the tips sections (i,e)I look forward to getting into mining and running a masternode

Thanks! First I must actually get a wallet up and running : ) . I am curious, would a USB ASIC miner work with Dash (effectively)?

No, you will need a graphics card for X11, the guide goes into some depth about this.
For AMD, a R9 290 tri X is a good place to start and for Nvidia GTX 750ti is ok on electricity and reasonable bang per buck.
There is cpu mining possible but only expect around 500 Kilohash per i7 8 thread device typically.
Okay thanks. Is this something I could do with a gaming laptop?

Can, but not recommended for long periods, it will heat stress your cpu running at 100%, but its a good learning experience and will teach you something about how block creation work and proof of work operates, give it a try:smile:

Easy way to start is when you manage to install the wallet, goto debug console and enter, setgenerate true
This will start solo mining, and max out your cpu, but be warned it is not optimized and much slower than the guide versions
Just started with setgenerate true . To stop I can simply close my wallet? How can I find what my computer is actually doing? The coins will simply be sent to my wallet?
Do you have a tutorial for mining on Ubuntu ? Also can I try with a raspberri pi ?
The hashrate would be the difficulty? How do I know my chance of solving & thus how much I would expect in a given amount of time ?

If you didn't get your wallet running g yet do this:
Find out what directory dash-qt is located in. Open directory and Right click white area and hit "open in terminal" - if u can't do then open terminal and navigate to the DIrectory.
Once directory is open in terminal type this.
./dash-qt
Dash should open. You can right click the icon and lock it to your ubuntu menu items so you can just click the icon instead of running command every time.
