What should I study if I really want to know how Linux works? Like: what's the real difference between filesystems? Which base packages are needed for OS to work, etc.
Are there any good books or courses?

You have to be clearer than that. Do you mean the kernel? Do you mean like a general overview of booting, mounting, and the processes all the way to userspace, etc? Are you particularly looking for advanced info on a specific thing like filesystems?

^this
I'd start out just googling technical specifications of what specific thing u want. Often times the more technical online posts will reference books, then u can go to those if you want

>>61355201
go to lainchan/lambda/e-books thread

More like how to be GNU/Linux poweruser and know limits of this system...er, kinda abstract too, I guess

Go to NoStarchPress site and look at their Systems/OS books for Linux/BSD. https://www.nostarch.com/howlinuxworks2

After you get the gestalt of how Linux/BSD works then you want to take a real operating systems class of which there are many on the various edx.org/coursera type MOOC sites or dig into Lyons Commentary w/Source Code which is still used in OS classes. Here's one: https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2016/schedule.html

If you get lost, then start here:
https://scs.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Sessions/List.aspx#folderID=%22b96d90ae-9871-4fae-91e2-b1627b43e25e%22&maxResults=50

Then you probably want to take some kind of advanced OS class by looking at university grad school calendars and going to their course site and grabbing pdfs/lectures. There you will find new things being worked on besides monolithic kernels from 30+yrs ago. https://www.udacity.com/course/advanced-operating-systems--ud189

After you know all the basics you can just read a manpage or whitepaper on a file system like say, OpenZFS and figure it out. There's plenty of alternative OSs around too like SmartOS (illumos) and Nix/GuixSD (linux with all configuration done in one file, with complete system dependency graph).
