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.

Linux Journey is a good one for the basics. But I would agree with the other commentors here, and say the best thing you can do for yourself is to just use it day to day.

I once heard something about learning other languages. Your brain has two methods of learning, one is the academic, and another is practical. When you learn something purely academic, your brain isn't prioritizing it as much, but if you're doing it daily, and you need to be able to do it, then your brain goes "oh man, I better pick this up quick" and starts kicking more of your subconscious power into learning it. I think using the command line is going to be a similar deal.
