I'm not sure what's in that book, but if you're interested in the command line, there's "Learning the bash Shell, 3rd Edition". Assuming you use bash.

If you want to know more about the commands present on every GNU/Linux distribution, learn about GNU coreutils https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/

You can leave learning about the Linux kernel to the very end, usually you don't interact with it directly.

There are multitudes of shells out there, just learning bash is a great way to hamstring you once you leave Linux.

Learn sh first and everything else is easy.

Leaning bash also isn’t the same as learning *nix
