You might want to check out sadservers.com. It's not your typical guide, but it could provide some interesting insights!
In terms of Linux troubleshooting, there isn't a ton of specific content. While you can Google errors, troubleshooting often requires a more in-depth process. I found this YouTube video helpful—it covers various problems and includes time codes for specific issues: https://youtu.be/KZ8oEh3dTfw?si=FnE6asrxYAs3q8pf. It's a mix of problems and can guide you through common scenarios.
Honestly, the best way to learn is probably to get an entry-level job and connect with the experienced team members. They can share their real-world knowledge and tips.
I recommend setting up some Linux virtual machines using VirtualBox. It's straightforward and a great way to practice your skills!
Oh wow, this looks fun!
