ArchWiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/

Unfortunately, Linux manuals are pretty scattered around. I’ll try to find something for you:

• If you want to learn the very basics of Linux command line, here’s what I found on the web: http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ ;
• For on how to use GNU user-land tools (Bash, cat, less, grep, sed, etc.), I recommend the GNU manuals which are very well-written: https://www.gnu.org/manual/blurbs.html (example: Bash manual);
  • GNU manuals are also downloaded for offline read by default. These manuals are provided with info.
• For GUI desktop, it depends on what Desktop Environment (DE) you use:
  • KDE wiki with tutorials: https://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials
  • GNOME app overview with documentation: https://apps.gnome.org/
  • If you don’t know what DE you use, KDE uses sharp edges for windows and GNOME uses round edges ( 👁️👄👁️ ).
• For system, as @[email protected] pointed out, for system-specific stuff, there’s ArchWiki that has topics about everything.
• If you want to understand what are the /usr, /usr/local, /etc, /dev, etc. filesystem directories, you want to look at the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard: https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/index.html
• There is also a free training course for Linux: https://training.linuxfoundation.org/training/introduction-to-linux/
• If you’re a developer and want to find out how deep the rabbit hole is, you may want to look at an online book Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces: https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/

EDIT: Forgot this important material:

• If you need to know command-line argument specifics for a particular program, use manpages (For example, to find brief information about grep, type man grep in your shell, and info grep if you need a complete manual).

Maybe tell us what you need the documentation for… Writing kernel modules? Installing distros? Configuring software? Archlinux wiki is a very good general reference, btw.

Gentoo Wiki https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Main_Page

Although i myself use an Arch-Based System i find the Gentoo wiki most of the time better regarding configuration of services

Arch Wiki for more general info. Official docs/man pages of whatever thing you are working with for details.

Surprised you didn’t think of https://docs.kernel.org/.

manpages. For many of us, it’s the only documentation that existed prior to the Internet.

https://linuxjourney.com/ is a good place to learn about linux. For documentation, manpages for sure.

Documentation or tipps?
