Hey everyone, I’m relatively new to linux and was looking for some advice/direction. I have been using Mint Debian Edition for around 6mo or so, and want to learn to use the command line efficiently and proficiently.
I have set up EndeavourOS on a backup laptop I have and have been playing with it, reading the Arch Wiki and such, but I feel like I’m not necessarily learning why I’m doing things, just doing what has worked for others.
So here I am. I guess I’m looking for recommendations for books or articles (physical or online) that can help me to learn and understand the workings on linux, and especially the command line.
Thank you all so much.
There’s a lot of good suggestions here.
As someone who uses Linux but doesn’t love it, be prepared to restart from scratch a lot. Keep the OS on a blank drive and just point the OS to your storage drives once it’s up and running.
Otherwise you are going to be losing data every time you break something in the OS, and that is really no fun.
