New to Linux, looking for user docs

Question: Can I user any basic Linux how-to book with Linux Lite?  Looking for a basic overview of Linux. 

Thank you,

Ed

Yes any linux book will point you in the right direction - Ubuntu based would be ideal - Ubuntu 18.04 is base for LL4.8
Think of it as Computers - Windows - Windows specific version.


You could read a CentOS book, and apply the concepts to Ubuntu the commands will be slightly different.
Myself, I like to play and see what I can use with basic knowledge, sure I'll need to find the GUI or command for correct syntax.


But keep it easy so you don't burn out and give up.... Have a question ask away, everyone here is more than helpful. Look over the manual and peruse/search the forums...


Look in LITE SOFTWARE
You'll find some software to get you started - Clemintine (music) - KeePassXC (password mgr) and many more...


VPN - right click your network/wifi icon and can configure a VPN (if gray'd out - Edit Connections/Click the +/Choose VPN several avail)..
If looking for Cisco Anyconnect - I have configured on mine with a few additional steps..
