Hey everyone, I’m relatively new to linux and was looking for some advice/direction. I have been using Mint Debian Edition for around 6mo or so, and want to learn to use the command line efficiently and proficiently.

I have set up EndeavourOS on a backup laptop I have and have been playing with it, reading the Arch Wiki and such, but I feel like I’m not necessarily learning why I’m doing things, just doing what has worked for others.

So here I am. I guess I’m looking for recommendations for books or articles (physical or online) that can help me to learn and understand the workings on linux, and especially the command line.

Thank you all so much.

    There’s a book called “How Linux works” and I think you might find a lot of good info there.

    And at a glance, this Bash tutorial looks pretty good: bash scripting course

          should be:

          resulting in:

            Yup, you’re right. Seems like Voyager handles that correctly, since I can see it. I can add a title to fix it for others though. Thanks for checking it out!
