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!
Sure, you dont know what’s important, how things work when you start out! But when you randomly explore, you’re hit with blocks and in order to pass it you have to analyze, examine it. In the process, you better develop your intuition as you yourself explore it and understand it to the core.
Suppose, your end destination is some place, there is a forest before the place you need to reach. If you know the path(when someone teaches you), you can reach the destination effectively and quickly. But if you explore it yourself, it may take some time but you get to know the forest when you analyze and careful enough that you are not be lost.
I think, the goal that is learning linux has to do with everything that makes the linux, but it is a long and boring process, when one learns without knowing the basics or the philosophy behind it. I think that, I better get to know about forest(basics of linux) and then explore randomly when you know what you’re doing.
I find a website, linuxjourney.com. Let me try and understand the basics of linux.
I’m just saying… The forest also contains difficult to overcome obstacles. And even traps. And now it’s your job to stay motivated while breaking free or taking the detour around… You could have been guided and told how the trap works.
And without knowing what to look for, you won’t see the traps coming. Some are really difficult to overcome if you didn’t see something alike before. And you’re relying on chance with that.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t do it. Nobody does it to that extreme. I think most people pick up a book at some time. Or watch an online course that has information processed for you.
And everybody learns differently. There just isn’t one simple truth that applies to everyone.
