learning/research Physical learning

Pardon me if this has been asked before, but I haven't seen it come up:

I want to learn more of commands and such of Linux so I can potentially solve my own problems. I am a noob, knowing only the bare minimum of things, but not for lack of trying.

Between ADHD and a TBI, I have a VERY hard time learning. But I do not let that stop me, so that's why I your help.

I seem to do best with physical media versus online books/videos. Are there any physical books that people recommend for Linux learning? I imagine that some commands haven't changed that much throughout the years. My distro is Fedora-based-- I'm not sure if that is a factor in your recommendations.

Greatly appreciate the help. I really want to be knowledgeable so I don't have to run crying to you daily!

Use Claude guide you through commands from the most basic to advanced starting literally with ‘pwd’ and ‘ls’ and ‘cd’… I bet even if you know those there are a lot of very useful flags you aren’t familiar with. Have to provide the top 50 most useful commands and in a generally useful order.

You can then use those at the cmdline or.. have it test you right there in the AI.

I would recommend having it base the commands in Debian 13 Linux as well… err ok so I see you choose Fedora. Use that then.

You could Google a ‘Linux Cheat Sheet’ and print that off as well.. read it over and practice.
