There is no one "Guide to Linux". The main problem with Linux is the different dialects, such as Debian, Suse, Red Hat etc. which means your command syntax can differ greatly for some general tasks. 

I'd recommend just getting comfortable with your distro of choice and learning everything you can on that.

 

With Parrot being Debian based, you have an enormous library of information available as the most popular distros out there are Debian based (elementaryOS, Mint, Ubuntu etc.).

I recommend you do one thing at a time. Right now you're trying to learn "ethical hacking" and to use GNU/Linux at the same time. 

 

It's like trying to run and cycle before you've even learned to walk. 

 

Start with Ubuntu and just use it for a while. 

Look up Bash scripting too, since that will be very useful.

Thanks For Advice Bro, So decided i'll put a hold to learning ethcial hacking rn and concentrate on getting my hands on ubuntu.i have tried ubuntu before but faced a lot of trouble to add reposoties like if i wanna add a script there is always some stuff missing . i started using kali as my first linux machine lmao ik not a great start but i felt comfertable working with it , at that time i was just concentrating on leaning ethcial hacking but its like i didn't follow any parameters to learm, i was picking what i liked .. but now i feel like i need to do this on a professional level so i need more knowledge .hence im doing this .but thanks anyways bruh i'll get started with ubuntu : )

i have worked with a few of em like i actaully installed arch linux but didn't understand anything from it so i let it go and a reason could be like i was'nt much comfertable in terminal . i have tried every distribution tbh and i feel like ubuntu is fine for me like im already aware of commands ..and syntax..so i'll go with ubuntu 

Thank you for advice tho .

Well if you are interested in ethical hacking you wouldn't have issues on using network tools even if they are CLI (for both linux and windows) every program has its syntax and some of them even have GUI's and that is whole separate than "learning linux" 

I also don't know what you mean by that, if you REALLY want to know how linux works, search for LFS Linux From Scratch. To use most of linux distros today for everyday work you wouldn't even need to learn the command line (most of the time)

edx has an intro to Linux course, it would be quite a bit of review, is often a bit dated- but is free

Or you can take a course on operating system and write your own custom Linux kernel

No CLI needed. You just need a good C complier.

Want table of content - search for LPIC1 exam and you will have it. Basic stuff more or less and covers most of whats needed.

Look up how to use man pages, basically >man ls

Gives you info on ls command, all the keys it can have and similar with most of commands.
