Learning Linux

[GeorgeKellow]

Hi Guys, 

 

New to Linux (Majorly new here) Has any got a materiel to point me in the right direction? 

I have started learning about 'pwd' 'cd' 'mkdir' etc. 

 

Most YouTube videos I have come across have not been great. 

 

Thanks in advance

Just learn the basics and a few advanced workings

IMO, some fun and good info can be found at phoronix and level1tech.

And doing a project based research could be very rewarding in learning linux.

The best way to learn is to just use it. Install it natively, use it for daily tasks, try to use the terminal when you can.

Okay some cool things to do:
 

Quote

sudo apt install <package>

is how you install packages

 

Quote

sudo vi <filename>

is how you edit files in terminal

 

Quote

sudo rm <file>

Removes a file

 

Quote

sudo rm -rf <directory/file>

Removes folders AND files. (I hope you know not to use the forbidden command with this.)

 

Quote

sudo apt remove <package>

Removes a package that you installed

 

Quote

sudo vi ~/.bashrc

My favorite, make custom aliases (for commands) by doing

alias <aliasname>="<WhatYouWantItToDo>"

 

and also don't forget there is much much more but thats what I use a lot
