Lerning Linux

HI, can someone recommend where I can learn Linux. Like a youtube channel, online corse or something else. I´m ok with computers and know the basics but now I want to switch to Linux. But Linux seems so different it would be nice with some basics and beyond.

Thanks

the best way of learning linux, is by picking out a distro that you think fits you, and actually using it.

throw it on an old computer, in a virtual machine,or on a bootable USB drive (note: full install on rotating platter usb drive) and use it like you would use your main computer.

i have seen the least tech savvy people learn it this way, and learn it in an extremely fast pace.

and the biggest advantage over a youtube channel: by doing it yourself you KNOW what you are doing, not just following a tutorial.

If you want something more structured you might consider signing up for the edx mooc that starts in August.

A good way to start is to practice on the command line, perhaps by following along with a book or a tutorial.

Some good starting books are:

  • The Linux Cookbook, by Michael Stutz
  • Linux Shell Scripting Cookbook
  • and The Linux Command Line which is actually free online

And also check out commandlinefu.com and try to learn the most popular commands.

Have fun!

Thanks, I'll check it out.
