Guide Learning Linux

[Apollo Tenzen]

You need to understand what the commands are doing. It's like math. If you are memorizing math then you don't understand it.

The best general purpose book I've seen is the Debian Administrator's Handbook, which is available for free. There's a lot to read but it's excellent. See: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debi ... ex.en.html

Another very good one that gets more into shell commands is https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debi ... nce.en.pdf

The trouble with command line resources is that they're constantly changing the commands and syntax. It's one of my biggest frustrations with Linux in general, so don't ever expect to 'master' Linux perfectly. Everyday is a learning day.

Otherwise learn as you go, concentrating on what is important to your day to day computing needs. Do explore your chosen desktop environment thoroughly, look at every settings module, right click everywhere, blah de blah.

If you venture into using the terminal make an effort to understand commands that may be suggested to you, and also take notice of the output. You don´t need to understand everything to get a gist of whats going on.
