As someone who grew up using windows, is there a series of tutorials or videos y’all recommend to learn Linux? I find myself running into issues, trying to find solutions online, and not even understanding the instructions. I’m sure most of this comes from not knowing bash (which I’ve started to learn using https://labex.io/linuxjourney).
Background: I’m a very competent windows user. I’ve built my own PC, etc. I mostly use it for gaming and Internet now but want to start self hosting some things. Oh, and I’m running bazzite.
Anyway, just trying to get out from Microsoft’s thumb.
Cheers.
Something I noticed early on is that a lot of explanations for Linux can be used, at least partially, for multiple subjects/programs/situations. Also stress can hinder perception. So when I would reach a roadblock, I left the project in the corner and came back to it a few days later. For the first year, it helped a bunch.
Also taking the time to read terminal logs when something breaks helps a bunch, either to figure out by yourself, or to search in your search engine of choice.
And like with learning a new language, the learning curve requires patience. Besides, having had the opportunity to test multiple systems, some popular and some highly specific, each was quirky even when close to a system I already knew, so maybe testing around in a virtual machine or a spare laptop to find the Linux distro that best fits you might help?
