Linux and OS books

[super_user_do]

Hello everybody! I'm looking for some books to learn about Linux and Operative Systems in general. What books would you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

I've not gone through the entire latest edition, but I've gone through previous editions, and The Linux Bible is a great book for learning Linux.

If I wanted to truly understand operating systems, I'd read something from Andrew S. Tanenbaum. He's the guy behind Minix and a professor who specializes in operating systems.

best book I know is the https://www.debiananwenderhandbuch.de/ - if you don't know german you can read the google translated version. Its one of the first books I read completely about debian and it got me from zero to sysadmin pretty reliably.

The Linux Bible is a good one. There are many on line guides and e-books to choose from It's Foss has a bunch of guides found here.

Translation from German to English is now accurate enough to grant a fairly decent reading experience and the book you sent me seems to be detailed. I'll definitely check it out!

A good old favourite that has been updated .. Linux for Dummies.

Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces is a good one.

Most of the stuff you need to learn isn't in books...that's why we have this Forum.
