What are some good beginners guides for Linux? I'm about

Mint is possibly the most user friendly distro out there. You will not need a guide.

I'd still like to learn about the nuances of it, though, particularly how this terminal business works.

I'm sure I could just Google it but I'd rather get the info from the actual users and not some 3 year old blog article.

This is all you need

This was a good resource a decade ago, assume it still is.

No, but you might be retarded if you think someone linking you to reading material is implying you're illitreate.

>>57290596
Tech illiterate, yes. That's why you need the two best sources of information about Linux there is.

Dear frogposter,
Installing Mint at this point simply isn't sensible. Mint is notorious for being buggy and has had numerous lapses in security. For a smooth entry into the world of Linux, I would recommend Ubuntu or Fedora, along with a lightweight DE like XFCE.

When employers ask if you know Linux, they usually mean if you can work in a shell environment. Learning bash will teach you about the filesystem, the userland, how applications used to be designed and also how to use bash.
The distro wiki's might help you learn about packages and stuff like that, but they are not designed for you to read just to learn.

Mint is super easy. If you can use Windows you can use Mint, no guide necessary

The gist is that you type the names of programs into the terminal, such as cd and ls. Whenever you encounter a program just man it

5.2. First Installation Steps: The Hard Way

Make installation floppies.

Boot an installation mini-Linux from the floppies in order to get access to the CD-ROM.

5.3. Continuing the Installation

Prepare the Linux filesystems. (If you didn't edit the disk partition table earlier, you will at this stage.)

Install a basic production Linux from the CD-ROM.

Boot Linux from the hard drive.

(Optional) Install more packages from CD-ROM.
