From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've attempted to learn it before but struggled. That was a long time ago. Is now the time to try again with these latest quality of life features mentioned?
If so, who has some good learning resources?
Depends when you last tried, what version. If it was anything before 2.8, it's in many ways a different program.
You're wasting your time if you don't already have a project in mind.
I learned so much by just finding tutorial videos that walked me through general or specific tasks I was trying to accomplish.
