As someone who grew up using windows, is there a series of tutorials or videos y'all recommend to learn Linux? I find myself running into issues, trying to find solutions online, and not even understanding the instructions. I'm sure most of this comes from not knowing bash (which I've started to learn using https://labex.io/linuxjourney).

Background: I'm a very competent windows user. I've built my own PC, etc. I mostly use it for gaming and Internet now but want to start self hosting some things. Oh, and I'm running bazzite.

Anyway, just trying to get out from Microsoft's thumb.

Cheers.

Edit: thanks for the replies everyone. I haven't had a chance to read through them all yet; the whole family is suddenly sick.

I started saving what I put into terminal into a Google doc. That way if something gets screwed I have a record for how to undo it.

This is a result of a horrible system philosophy. You do everything through terminal and then scratch your head a year later because you don't remember what changes you made.

This is the single worst design choices you can possibly make. Not only requiring from user to learn terminal wizardry but also manually tracking every single config change because there's no "reset to default" button
