Here’s a few how to style sites that I’ve found useful for everything from small things to big projects: These are general things that might seem too basic but there are some gems in there. Everyone, even really experienced users, can have gaps in their knowledge of basics: https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-GUI Julie Evans doesn’t right just about Linux but when she writes a how-to she really puts the time in to do it well: https://jvns.ca/ DigitalOcean has the best set of how-to docs I know of for a web hosting company: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials I have less experience with them but Linode seems to do a good job on how to docs too: https://www.linode.com/resources/ And there’s man pages and the like, too, but man pages can be a bit cumbersome for learning more than some options and basic use of a comma

nd. Any other sites that people think are best for Linux in general, specialized areas like shells and scripting, distro specific sites, etc.? I’d save those sites and return to them first then do a web search if not enough there.
