I think it is time to buy a book on Linux and get to reading about this because I do like this OS. But there are many books out there a I would like to get any suggestions as to which one I should start out with. Take into account I am not a programmer, However, by trade I do work in SQL Server where I write code, queries, blah blah blah snd I do date back to DOS and have some familiarity with that, Also I took a C++ class in collage (oh so many years ago).
All this to mean I am familiar with computers and coding so I do know how to turn a computer on and basic consents on how everything works within one. I am just clueless to Linux and the many different platforms that are used to run it. Ubunto, Zorin........
What I am looking for is a good beginners guide that will understanding what Linux is all about and how to do most things both using a GUI and (from what I can tell) using Terminal. There seems to be quite a bit of coding efforts in Terminal and that can be a bit intimidating.
I was thinking of Ubuntu Linux Beginners Guide. Does anyone have a suggestion?
