If you previously thought that Linux was just for pros and geeks, then maybe it's time you took another look at one of the most popular open source operating systems around. Gone are the days that Linux was no use for gamers or other users. Now it is an all-inclusive system that really delivers, and you will want to get the best from it.

If this sounds like something that interests you, then Linux is a practical guide, complete with exercises, that is the solution you have been searching for. It will provide you with detailed, in-depth knowledge to getting started and making the most of it, with chapters that cover things like:

• How to quickly install and set up your system
• Making the most of the desktop
• What you will get from the utilities
• An overview of the system administration
• What security features there are
• How Linux works with the Cloud
• And more…

    The joke is "year of Linux on the Desktop". It already dominates most other fields from embedded, mobile phones, servers, to supercomputer.

      Sort of is the year of Linux on the Desktop. Microsoft announced Windows 10 will soon run Linux GUI apps!

    Haha…It's not 2008 mate. Linux already won! :) As Arch user, I'm very impressed with new Ubuntu 20.04. The joke @manic refers to might not be seen as joke in close future :)

  For some topics a "crash course" doesn't sound very promising.

  I had a quick read through "Boeing 747: The Ultimate Crash Course" and it was a disaster.

    The Linux crash course prepares you for when running sudo pacman -Syyu inexplicably breaks something, causing non stop crashes.

  Unfortunately, there is no crash course for Linux, it's all hands-on, break/fix and accumulate experience, level up game lol

  Anyway, free book is always good to have lol

    Best way to learn it is to just use it. It's actually quite simple once you get a handle on the terminal commands. I'm using Linux Mint and I could almost replace Windows entirely with it.

      18+ year Linux desktop user here ;-) Glad to hear. Now you can run Linux apps on WSL on Windows with GPU acceleration lol

        snep on 22/05/2020 - 23:33

        Pretty sure that involves a proposed kernel addition that's still some ways away from being approved. So doesn't look like wsl has gpu acceleration right now, but maybe in six months…
