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!

    IMO running through a Gentoo installation is a great way to learn.

    The handbook is well documented and walks you through all of the steps that an installer would traditionally do.

    You can do it in a VM or bare metal if you’re feeling adventurous!

      I found that, at the cost of a few months of absolute suffering, using Gentoo as my first distro fasttracked my Linux learning.

      Even manually installing Arch is a good way to understand the parts of a Linux system, stuff like users, package management, etc. Without heating your house all summer compiling the kernel.

      Yeah, Gentoo is a good way to get your hands dirty. Reading the guide and trying to dig in deeper as to what you’re doing will give you a decent understanding of Linux.
