Unfortunately, Linux manuals are pretty scattered around. I'll try to find something for you:

• If you want to learn the very basics of Linux command line, here's what I found on the web: http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ ;
• For on how to use GNU user-land tools (Bash, cat, less, grep, sed, etc.), I recommend the GNU manuals which are very well-written: https://www.gnu.org/manual/blurbs.html (example: Bash manual);
  • GNU manuals are also downloaded for offline read by default. These manuals are provided with info.
• For GUI desktop, it depends on what Desktop Environment (DE) you use:
  • KDE wiki with tutorials: https://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials
  • GNOME app overview with documentation: https://apps.gnome.org/
  • If you don't know what DE you use, KDE uses sharp edges for windows and GNOME uses round edges ( 👁️👄👁️ ).
• For system, as @Terumo@lemmy.world pointed out, for system-specific stuff, there's ArchWiki that has topics about everything.
• If you want to understand what are the /usr, /usr/local, /etc, /dev, etc. filesystem directories, you want to look at the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard: https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/index.html
• There is also a free training course for Linux: https://training.linuxfoundation.org/training/introduction-to-linux/
• If you're a developer and want to find out how deep the rabbit hole is, you may want to look at an online book Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces: https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/

EDIT: Forgot this important material:

• If you need to know command-line argument specifics for a particular program, use manpages (For example, to find brief information about grep, type man grep in your shell, and info grep if you need a complete manual).

Hi. I understand your rant. Yes, the quality of most frameworks in the wild is pretty low, especially if it is one of the more niche algorithm nobody takes care to audit, or the programming language lacks safety syntax, like C++, which allows writing mixed C and C++ code and only few people understand the necessity of idiomatic C++. And of course, inexperienced devs go the easiest way.

Don't give up and take this as a challenge. It is a skill to understand what the other guy wrote. And this skill takes years to develop.

You can try to enroll into Linux Foundation Certified Sysadmin course. It is quite a respectable certification. Try to have some practice every day as well.

That profile pic looks cool, though

I'd recommend rather boring Debian. Archlinux as well if you want to dive deeper.

EDIT: For Debian, you want Debian Testing.

I got used to XFCE, but, with my new awesome Tuxedo laptop, I got KDE as a DE for a stock OS, and I could say it feels much more complete. But the performance drops, when opening a terminal, for example.

This is one of the reasons Lemmy exists.

I could only tolerate ElectroBoom-style "This video is sponsored by oscilloscope company" ads.

Yes, there are.
