From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Get use to navigating the file system. Know where you are, where you want to go and how to get there. After that, start following guides on installing things manually just for fun. I can't tell you how many times I've installed Arch Linux in a VM from scratch for fun. Lol. The Arch Wiki is your friend and can be used even if you stop using arch for certain things.
