I'm diving into Linux and looking for some solid resources to help me get started. My aim isn't to become a pro, but I really enjoy learning, and I want to understand how things work and what everything means. I just installed Debian and while I don't mind a steeper learning curve, I want to set up my system to be stable and functional (mostly for home use like browsing, some gaming, music production, and maybe a VM for CAD/CAM). Any recommendations on where to begin?

If you're looking to get into Linux, type `man man` in your terminal. It’s a bit of a thick read, but it will help you understand Linux's inner workings better.
Using Linux as your main OS is a great learning opportunity, especially if you pick a less user-friendly distro. Google will be your friend for troubleshooting. Here are a few distros you might consider:
* Arch Linux for a challenge that pays off in knowledge.
* Debian for an easier installation experience.
* Linux Mint if you want something that feels more like Windows or macOS.
The Arch Wiki is a fantastic resource even if you're not using Arch. It has tons of in-depth information that can help you really understand Linux.
Take a look at the Linux Foundation's training site! It can help you figure out a learning roadmap that makes sense for you.
Check out this YouTube video titled "Useful Resources Every New Linux User Needs" by Brodie Robertson. It's got lots of links to wikis, articles, and YouTubers that can guide you. Also, don't miss channels like Michael Horn, Michael Tunnell, and TechHut, they're super helpful!
