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.

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!

I've been dabbling with Linux for 30 years and it's only in the last few that it really clicked. I needed a project.

Go start a home server and give yourself projects to work on. Makes Linux very fast to pick up.

A simple distro, like one for a raspberry pi, is also helpful.

I actually would recommend learning a hypervisor.

Not first. For sure. But before you want to do anything serious.

Proxmox made learning home service hosting so much easier and faster to unfuck.
