Learning Linux

Hi all,

I don’t know if this is the correct place to write this, if it isn’t then please move it. Thanks.

Maybe you know this website already but today I was searching for something and the search-engine spit out these pages. There is a lot to be found here with regards to Linux, especially for newcomers who want to get to know Linux. Enjoy:

Geeks for Geeks Linux-Unix
Geeks for Geeks Linux tutorial

On these pages you find a whole lot of links to other pages where things are explained. Maybe it is helpful, maybe you know it already.
One thing is for sure somebody really had a lot of spare time :grinning_face:

or used an AI. I had a look and was not impressed. The content seems dated and misses important Fedora tools. The zsh shell is not mentioned in the “Introduction to Linux Shell and Shell Scripting” (updated 23 July). The discussion of file permissions omits SELinux.

You have studied the website more thorough than I did, but in my defense I did not have much time this afternoon.
I don’t think it is meant for a Fedora setup in particular, more general information how Linux works and how to operate it. No, it won’t be complete, I did not expect that, but I saw plenty of info which made me think to write about it here so others might benefit.

What do you think, shall I keep the post or is it so bad that I better delete it?

Better to leave it so others can make an informed decision. I do recommend the Linux Command Book that is focused on bash and was written by a human. Before retiring I worked with mostly PhD level scientists who needed some niche command-line software that was developed on SGI IRIX64 in the 1990’s by NASA (after obtaining letters from big vendors stating that the market was too small to support a commercial product!). Many of them found Linux Command useful after SGI disappeared and NASA provided a Linux version.

Best way to learn is to jump in and figure stuff out, no prior experience :stuck_out_tongue:

Continued interest is where the learning happens!

Many courses exist, but I suggest learning the basics using RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux).

Here a link for FREE courses from Red Hat:
