I am a newbie to emacs and Linux in general (started my linux journey 2 months ago) and want to learn emacs. Does anyone have good ressources to learn emacs as a beginner? Also should I use a distro like doom Emacs or should I do it from scratch

The best way to learn it is to use it. Start with vanilla emacs and a project, and commit to using it. You’ll learn more by needing to figure out how to mark, copy, and paste than just reading about it.
