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.

Apart from all this, ive learned the most from a mix of looking at other people's configurations and reading source code. The documentation is super messy, especially if you want to make use of flakes (which i personally recommend from the get go).
+1 for these! I’d also add https://nixos.asia/en
