Special Features of This Book
Throughout this book, you will find links to videos designed to enhance the learning experience. Some concepts are better demonstrated visually than explained in text, and these resources will help you better understand the topics discussed. This book serves as a guide to accelerate your learning, allowing you to absorb knowledge efficiently without needing to watch hundreds of hours of videos.
Before you Begin
Before diving into the content, understand that Linux works very differently from Windows or macOS. It is not just a different operating system; it is a different way of thinking about how computers work. This book will help you transition to this new mindset, but it will take time to adjust. Be patient with yourself and embrace the learning process.
Also, when referring to ANY resources the date of the resource is important. This book is designed to be a living document, meaning it will be updated with new information and resources as they become available. Always check the date of the resources you are using to ensure they are still relevant and accurate. Linux moves quickly, and what was true yesterday may not be true today. This book will help you stay up-to-date with the latest information and resources available, but check the last updated date on the resources you are using to ensure they are still relevant and accurate. Each chapter will have a last updated date at the end of the chapter, and you can find the latest version of this book at https://thelinuxbook.com.
