Hi, Welcome to LQ!

A general web search for, GNU/Linux Machtelt Garrels

This may give you some pdf download sites for ...

I would suggest "introduction to linux" by Machtelt Garrels

These may not be as up-to-date as they could be, but make a good starting place.

... and any distribution related how-to's on particular subjects.

All the best.

I just did a quick search on amazon and was refereed to the following link.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=introduct..._ts-doa-p_1_21

I'd also recommend that the OP find a book on bash scripting for beginners.

In addition to a good tutorial and this forum, I highly recommend a inexpensive "lab" computer to learn on.

I hit reply too quickly on the prior post.

In addition to a good tutorial and this forum, I highly recommend an inexpensive "lab" computer to learn on. With it, you can learn to install different distros' side by side. Live versions will give you a good idea of what features they have. Installation will give a more involved experience, especially if it's a multi boot system.

Install Linux on a VM, play with it. Watch YouTube, read books.
