   Does anyone know of one or more good books for getting started on GNU/Linux for personal use? While I don't shy away from learning, I'm specifically looking for something that doesn't assume I have formal IT education.
   
   Here's some boobs for your trouble.

     @nyanide @moth_ball
     
     Unix and Linux administration handbook is good from what I've read
     
     It also tells you where you can get more information, which is the most important thing anyway

     @histoire @nyanide @moth_ball there's also classic vintage resources like https://archive.org/details/unixforpeoplemod00birn/page/n7/mode/2up that still assume you got a unix system for it's terminal document capabilities, rather than web server/desktop use
     
     and while https://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/ is not to be read in order, it makes for a nice reference like a handbook should on many topics
