I’ve been using Windows since the days of 3.1, practically my entire life. So I’m really comfortable with how windows operates and how to do the things that I want to do.

I’ve dabbled around with Linux over the years, but am now considering trying to make a full switch to it.

What are some resources to “learn” Linux properly? Such as understanding the filesystem, basic security practices, essential tools or commands, etc?

    It’s worth emphasizing that keeping it dual boot until you’re comfortable will let you take a break if you get frustrated rather than wiping Linux and going back to Win full time.

    Get a book on Linux, if you’re the type who likes learning from books (I do). There’s so many to choose from. Check reviews before you order or go to a book store and flip through some until you find one you like.
