From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I read the How Linux Works one, it seemed pretty basic, maybe a bit too basic. Plus if you don’t practice the theory in them you’ll forget whatever you read. At least I did lol. All in all, pretty meh
I tried the command line one as well, but couldn’t get through it. Let’s be honest, do you really want to read 300 pages of commands? lol
If you want to learn anything about those topic in these books, practice. You can read all you want but it’s a waste of time if you don’t use it
I’m talking to my past self a bit lmao
