Hi:

Welcome to Linux Questions!

Congratulations!

You could start here and see what appeals to you-

The other thing you could if you wanted to is to install either Red Hat on your computer or maybe CentOS-
That way you will get use to and become a custom to how the OS runs, updates, configures, compiles and etc.

And reading a few articles might help too-
