I just installed Ubuntu, but I know next to nothing about Linux, I don't even know how to install a program in it, will this book teach me all there is to know about Linux?

Bruh you don't need a book. This shits easy, you just type words on a screen and remember what words do what.

Here's the epub

There are a lot of hidden layers and complex structures you need to learn otherwise you will never truly understand Linux.

Bait thread but this is actually how stupid most Windows users are. Anything more than double-clicking an icon on the desktop is fucking rocket science to their piss and shid for brains.

how am I baiting? i literally just asked whether a book is good or not, you're retarded.

I read this book. You need to skim it multiple times and fuck around with a linux machine for awhile before it all clicks. I put Arch on my shitty laptop and fucked around and reinstalled it and broke it and struggled for way too long for tasks that are simple to me now and just dicked around until I got competent.

This book is great to give you a good big picture idea of how linux works but you need to actually fuck around on linux and managing an Arch system is a good platform for that.

Arch is a meme, install Gentoo.

i dont care

try this book, op
that book will give you information you don't even need to know

download a bunch of linux command line books from somewhere

It's a great first book if you want to become a Linux nerd, without fully getting into Linux dev, you'll have a much better picture of Linux overall. But it's not for absolute beginners unless you have unix knowledge or general good OS knowledge. As a total beginner, you will feel overburdened learning how the init system works, bootloaders, basic kernel space knowledge, file systems, networking, the Linux programming environment... this is all intermediate knowledge of Linux... first you want to learn how to get shit done.

This is the better first choice for you. It will make you competent at the command line, which the other book won't as it's a general tour of Linux itself for users wanting to git gud. Learn to get comfy at the userspace level via command line and writing bash scripts. Then I'd recommend installing something like Arch, manually to get some experience of configuring Linux at a beginner level, then it will make that book motivating to get through as you will want to understand how and why the process is done, which that book will prove useful. Maybe even do Linux from Scratch if you dare, then you will truly be motivated to go through that book and be able to absorb the information better as you'll recall your experience. You'll be able to understand and debug problems, by having a better sense of what could be going wrong, which is the ultimate strength of that book.

t. read both books in their much earlier editions.
