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 learned the most about linux, networks, and the internet by just getting into projects that are useful for me personally and connected to my hobbies. Self hosted projects are great for this (sftp server, torrent server, gitea, etc. https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted ) While this method really helps with motivation and will probably be the most fun, im also currently looking for some more systematic ways of learning things like security best practices.
