Linux for Absolute Beginners: An Introduction to the Linux Operating System Kindle Edition

Linux is without doubt the most powerful OS in the world. Yes, you may think Windows and macOS are powerful operating systems due to the fact that they control much of the computer market but I have some stats that will change your perspective:

• The Linux servers are being used for running Facebook, Twitter, and even Google. It is also the operating system on which various other major internet sites run.
• Almost 100% of the world’s supercomputers run on Linux (As of 2021)
• 96.3% of the world’s top 1 million servers run on Linux.
• All the best cloud hosts run on Linux.
• Yes, Android OS is also a Linux-based operating system.

Despite the fierce competition, Linux has continued to grow into becoming the most trusted operating system known to the world. Linux for Absolute Beginners is a guide for users who have never operated on Linux before. It is a reference book for those who seek to gain knowledge in a short period. This book takes away the monotonous and rather complicated language and terminologies and presents a digestible version of a beginner’s guide. You don't even have to buy a new PC to learn Linux. You can run Linux, right within your existing Windows or Mac OS systems!

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• The basics, including what Linux is, how it has evolved over the years, how Linux works, the distros of Linux, files hierarchy in Linux as well as the system architecture in Linux
• Why programmers prefer Linux over Windows and macOS, and how Linux can help you become a better programmer
• Step-by-step download, install, and configuration process, how to add Graphical user interface; how to add additional software; Troubleshooting; etc.
