I'm currently studying Networking in school, and I'm finding my Linux class to be quite challenging. I'm looking for some effective tips or resources to help me learn Linux better.

I recommend subscribing to Michael Tunnell on YouTube. He produces excellent tutorials and news on Linux that could really help you out!
Have you thought about installing Arch Linux in a virtual machine and doing it manually? It might sound tricky, but do thorough research on every step, especially when it comes to partitioning and file systems. The ArchWiki and YouTube are excellent resources. If you’re feeling brave, try installing Linux from Scratch (LFS) in a VM too. Just be prepared to spend a good chunk of time on it. You’ll really gain confidence by using the command line for everyday tasks!
Is this something I should tackle all at once, or can I break it down into smaller pieces? Also, I’ve been struggling with a test format in class that feels more simulated than practical. I personally learn better with a step-by-step approach.
Check out "Explaining Computers" on YouTube for some great video tutorials! It’s helpful to start by learning basic terminal commands and understanding the Linux file system. I prefer reading official documentation rather than random sources, as it's much more reliable. Also, try to follow along with guides to practice the commands yourself. Good luck!
Thanks, I'll check him out!
