Hey everyone, I’m relatively new to linux and was looking for some advice/direction. I have been using Mint Debian Edition for around 6mo or so, and want to learn to use the command line efficiently and proficiently.
I have set up EndeavourOS on a backup laptop I have and have been playing with it, reading the Arch Wiki and such, but I feel like I’m not necessarily learning why I’m doing things, just doing what has worked for others.
So here I am. I guess I’m looking for recommendations for books or articles (physical or online) that can help me to learn and understand the workings on linux, and especially the command line.
Thank you all so much.
terminal is also useful as a cross-distro way of doing things and helps avoid cluttered, bad or ugly UIs. Of course the degree at which someone prefers the terminal over a GUI and for which applications is 95% subjective, the other 5% being when either a GUI is pretty much necessary (i.e. image editing) or viceversa (i.e. automation, looking like a l33t h4x0r to impress the ladies/boys/enbies, managing the 3PBs of monkey memes)
