I’ve also got the Linux Basics for Hackers book but it’s at home while I’m on vacation.
I’m just really happy rn yall :) this install took some work, SecureBoot kept getting in the way and I’m not the most savvy person so there was a lot of Googling and trial and error in the way of getting here.
The Linux Command Line book opened up a lot to me. How Linux Works is very good, but the command line is so essential, and that book gives you some great starting knowledge like aliases and shell scripting.
Especially aliases. Take note of aliases, when you start using aliases it can change your world once you realize how much you can accomplish with what essentially are one line programs you wrote for you own personal needs.
Welcome beyond the pale, friend. You’ve made it to the other side. Only freedom awaits, should you have the determination to work for it.
I added a line to my /etc/bash.bashrc:
So when I tell my command line to shut up, it auto updates and shuts down
That’s pretty spiffy
