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.
Grab an old Thinkpad and Install Arch from scratch following the wiki. It’s considerably easier than e.g. Gentoo and equips you with enough experience to debug things.
Grab a note taking app like Joplin / Obsidian too.
After that try writing a pkgbuild and configuring sway/Hyprland/DWM.
Keep something simpler for daily driving so you don’t get warn out (eg EndeavourOS/Fedora/OpenSuse or something along those lines).
IME Endeavour is a nice compromise between over engineered bespoke behaviour like eg Ubuntu and configuration pains like Void / Gentoo.
