Hi
I want to learn more about Linux in general!
I've been (and still Am) a Windows user until I discovered LL which gave a new life to my old laptop some time ago, after I bought a new one with Win10 (8GB RAM, i5core CPU,Nvidia bla bla bla).
My old laptop (the one I'm writing this now) is 11 years now so I have to thank the developers of Linux in general and LL in particular for providing a OS for a machine that otherwise would be useless.
I'm not a computer geek, just a simple user so Linux (terminal/command lines) are very confusing.
With that in mind what free ebooks recommendations would you guys suggest so I can improve my skills with linux.
Download links would be appreciated.
Thank You

Hi @JesusLinux

I think this is a good point to start from: https://itsfoss.com/getting-started-with-ubuntu/?utm_source=sidebar&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=sidebar You'll find a lot of info in that link; tutos and hows to, links for downloading books, software reviews and much more. Like I said, it is a good point to start from. Also, use the search feature in this forum as well as in google to find posts/articles about some particular subject/topic.
Hope this helps! :)

Hello JesusLinux,
this book is good for learning the command line, then it becomes a bit less confusing.

At the moment I'm working myself through This One (http://tille.garrels.be/training/ubuntu/index.html)(For All you Dutch Speaking Linux Addicts)
Yes, it's a bit dated, but good for the basics I guess
