Recently, I’ve been using linux(tried multiple distros). I’m curious about how linux works, it’s architecture! Is there a book, guide, video, etc to learn about linux? By using linux, I get to know something. It would be better If I know how linux works!
To make the learning process much more enjoyable, I’am going to try one of the OS’es either arch or gentoo. Which one will best for as a beginner? As gentoo has much more wiki than arch, which one will best suit for beginners(like me) to trying to understand things? Are there some resources, where I can learn some very basic stuff like about package manager, linux kernel, etc(if there, please share it here) and then it would be good if I go onto the installation and then onto the LFS thing. Learning linux would be a fantastic journey!
As a beginner I installed Arch manually to learn things and was kind of disappointed. The only hard thing was to understand the partition system, so it’s more or less the only thing I learnt. Sure there were pieces of other things learnable, but it was small things.
Now I want to try to install Gentoo.
I’d argue gentoo isn’t the worst thing to do even as a beginner, but installing arch would likely be the best first step as it’s shorter and you’re more likely to get it running first try. You also don’t have to compile.
As for other resources, though I prefer reading and doing, youtube might help. Specifically, chris tituss tech’s linux basics playlist or learn linux TV playlist on the subject. Another great resource is to just read the
manpage for and specific commandOther than that, install in a virtual machine and start breaking things. Finding the solution will likely teach you quite a bit
