I've built websites using the MERN stack and I'm looking to transition into DevOps. I understand that learning Linux and networking basics is crucial as a starting point. Can anyone suggest some helpful resources, both free and paid, where I can gain these skills? Also, are there any other important topics I should familiarize myself with before diving into DevOps?

To kick off your DevOps journey, get comfortable with Linux and networking first. I recommend 'The Linux Command Line' by William Shotts (free PDF) and using 'Computer Networking: Principles, Protocols and Practice' which is also free. Get some hands-on experience with cloud VMs too! After that, you can delve into tools like Docker and Kubernetes. Websites like freeCodeCamp and KodeKloud have great free and paid resources to help you along the way.
Focus on practical skills! Start with essential tools like Linux, Git, Docker, Terraform, and CI/CD processes. DigitalOcean is awesome for spinning up projects, and make sure to explore their Terraform provider. For structured learning, check out roadmap.sh/devops and devops-daily.com/roadmap.
You don't need to learn everything at once; that can be overwhelming. Start by exploring topics related to what you already know and implement them in real projects. Check out the roadmap at roadmaps.sh/devops for guidance, and keep building your knowledge through practical experience.
