Are you looking for a complete guide which enables you to use Linux and manage shell Linux like a pro? Are you struggling to navigate among all the Linux distributions out there and finding hard to define the best one for your needs? Do you want to evaluate your learning level step by step?

Linux is without doubt the most powerful operating system in the world. Yes, you may think Windows and macOS are powerful operating systems owing to the fact that they control much of the PC market but I have some stats that will change your perspective:

As of 2023

100% of the world's supercomputers run on Linux
23 of the top 25 websites in the world run on Linux
96.3% of the world's top 1 million servers run on Linux
90% of the world's cloud infrastructure operates on Linux
All the best cloud hosts run on Linux

I believe you now appreciate just how Linux is not really given as much credit for running the world behind the scenes and have even greater motivation to learn it.
The book discusses the ins and outs of Linux in a beginner friendly style to make your learning process frustration free, as the book does not assume you know anything about Linux.

More precisely, this book will teach you:
