Try rescanning. Start bitcoin core with the -rescan option.

I'm not very experienced with linux either. just like knightdk said. open the terminal (that's Ctrl+Alt+T) then enter this: if that somehow didn't work (that should work for installed programs though), move to the directory where bitcoin-qt are located by typing: cd /[path to the folder containing bitcoin qt] and try again.

hmmm. doesn't work how exactly? did the client opened or not at all? i do remember when i erased a file in the appdate when i used windows then the wallet had to rescan

I don't know about erasing anything (nor do I think that it's a good idea). but importing a private key will make qt rescan.

Did you import all the private keys from Windows that had balances? Since you say "import private key," not "keys" plural, you may have only imported one. I suspect you may have missed some, perhaps the change addresses. (note that that is plural too). (Is that what you mean by "charger address"?)

(Is that what you mean by "charger address"?) hi i used always only one adress so it was one private key. so you are right plural. and i dont know how to find the changer adresses i explain what i mean by changer i see transactions lets say i recived 10 btc then i spend 3 and the missing is exactly the 7 that is left from the originaly 10 like the 10 was a note just created for my wallet and when i spend my 3 i get 7 change back but usualy i dont see that process in my wallet. ( at least never did in the windows core ) now i see the transaction fo the 7 but i dont see the 7 arrive at any of my wallet adresses so where are they now ? at blockchain info i see the transactions too in my win wallet the number of btc is correct

If you did use core previously, what did you do with the old wallet.dat? i explain what i mean by changer i see transactions lets say i recived 10 btc then i spend 3 and the missing is exactly the 7 that is left from the originaly 10
We know what change addresses are, they have a separate private key. Your old wallet would have had that private key, but since you did not export it the question is what happened to your old wallet. like the 10 was a note just created for my wallet and when i spend my 3 i get 7 change back but usualy i dont see that process in my wallet. ( at least never did in the windows core ) now i see the transaction fo the 7 but i dont see the 7 arrive at any of my wallet adresses so where are they now ? at blockchain info i see the transactions too

what's your old wallet? electrum or core (or others)? for electrum right click on an address and choose private key. or, if you want to export all of your addresses, choose wallet > private keys > export. for core go to the console and type:

If your old wallet is bitcoin core as well (you didnt answer the question so I have to guess) just copy the wallet.dat from your old machine. On windows you can find it by pressing win + r to open "run" and enter %APPDATA%\Bitcoin. You can also open bitcoin core and click File -> Backup Wallet... On the linux machine: make sure core is closed rename the existing wallet.dat to wallet.dat.backup (or something similar) and put the copied wallet.dat in its place you should find the wallet files in ~/.bitcoin
