I always liked Sobells book "A Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming"

https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Guide-Commands-Editors-Programming/dp/0134774604/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

For programmers, "The Linux Programming Interface" is excellent.

http://man7.org/tlpi/

but read "The C programming language" first, and possibly "Modern C" as well.

"The little book about OS development" is great if you want a technical book about the inner workings of a OS

In general, older books can be good, especially if they are about the lower level stuff that is common for all distributions, like GNU tools, programming aspects and OS theory / POSIX.

For Debian, "The Debian Administrator's Handbook" is good

https://debian-handbook.info/

For Arch, the Arch wiki is invaluable

For cash-in-pocket noobs who like to have a book in hand I'd recommend any of these books by Mark G. Sobell.

A Practical Guide to Linux
Old (1997) but takes you from the basics to intermediate.

A Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming, 4th. Ed.
Also covers the basics but it's more focused on those subjects included in the title.

A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux, 4th. Ed
I have no experience with this book but I'm including it for completeness.

A Practical Guide to Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, 7th. Ed.
Same. No experience.

The Linux Documentation Project is a great free resource:

The first two are for learning Bash; this is an awesome resource for learning how to administer RHEL/CentOS7:

  1. Learn linux - https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Guide-Commands-Editors-Programming/dp/0134774604/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1540917384&sr=1-3&keywords=A+Practical+Guide+to+Linux+Commands&dpID=51mIubCikPL&preST=_SX218_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch

  2. Learn your distro - IE find a good book on debian, ubuntu, fedora, or the arch wiki

  3. Interact with their forums

  4. Remember that no one knows everything; but most people will expect that you at least do a google search to find more information about your poblem.
