Hey everyone! I know there are a ton of resources out there for learning Linux, but I'd love to hear your personal recommendations. I'm looking for hands-on learning materials since I tend to lose interest with dry content. I have Ubuntu on my laptop, which should help. Just to give you a bit of background, I'm fairly new to Linux. I have a keen interest in it and I'm currently studying cybersecurity, but my IT experience is pretty limited. I have mostly worked in radio communications during my time in the military and done some small repairs at work. Any suggestions for resources would be greatly appreciated!

I took some great notes while learning Linux and turned them into a free ebook. You can check it out [here](https://github.com/GitJit-max/learning-linux). If you feel like I missed any essential topics, let me know and I might add something! Happy learning!
There's a useful [resources page](http://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/wiki/faq) in our wiki if you're interested! You can also try this [search](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/search?q=flair%3A'learning%2Fresearch'&sort=new&restrict_sr=on) for more info on this topic. A good tip: always take regular backups, experiment in a VM, and make sure you understand every command before hitting Enter!
Check out [Linux Journey](https://linuxjourney.com/) for a good start, and don't forget to check your distro's official docs and forums. Oh, and keep an eye on Humble Bundle for Linux ebook bundles; they often have great deals!
I actually started with Linux Journey and it's been fantastic so far!
Those tips, plus watching Linux tutorials during meals, have also helped me a lot!
Thank you!
