Linux for Beginners: A Practical and Comprehensive Guide to Learn Linux Operating System and Master Linux Command Line. Contains Self-Evaluation Tests to Verify Your Learning Level

I liked that it was easy to read. It gave me a way to keep up with what I'm learning, easily.

I have not thoroughly read the book, but it is written for easy read by beginners.

Most of it I knew already so I was going for a review and making sure I didn't miss anything.

My son is interested in learning to code and build computers, so we got this book since it claimed to be for beginners. This book definitely is meant for beginners but in a good way. The author starts with the very basics and builds from there. What I loved about this book over others is 1. There were lots of pictures of what my screen should look like or graphics to explain things. And 2. Each chapter had a short little quiz at the end. This really helped me and my son see if we were getting what was being covered. I love that! Overall, a great tool to.learn Linux.

Pretty good book, got the info I needed. The flow of words and slight errors did not nesiccarily change the context or make the relevant information unusable.

I ordered the book and it was shipped to me a few days later, it was printed On June 1, 2023 In Coppell, Texas! It got here this morning June 4, 2023, A Sunday no less. That just made me so happy! I am enjoying this book immensely. already done with the first chapter.

very good book

After reading the other reviews, I may be missing something but I don’t think this book is going to convince any Windows user that Linux is a better alternative. To put in automotive terms, the average Windows user drives an automatic transmission and this book is trying to convince you that a 5 speed manual is better. Chapters 1 and 2 are good but chapter 8 “Alternative to Windows” should be chapter 3. Instead of explaining how to create the boot media you need, why not tell the reader that for a couple of bucks you can purchase the install dvd or usb media right here on Amazon or the other site that begins with E. No mention is made of the gui that allows you to set up your desktop to look like windows or how to add or delete apps from it. Something a window user would want to know. I am a retired network technician who spent the last 20+ years doing small business support for Unix and Windows based networks. I was even certified on Novell (what’s that) networks. The rest of the chapters on the shell, commands and network administration are good if you want to follow in my footsteps. An individual user just wanting to replace MS Spyware 11 with something more secure may find all of the utilities and command line instructions to be a bit too daunting to undertake. I bought this book thinking that it may contain some information on new bells and whistles that may have appeared since I retired. I found myself saying “I forgot about that” instead of “I didn’t know that”. For that reason I am going to keep the book next to my computer as a desk reference.

Love it. Very simple written for the Linux beginners.

Well written and clear

I'm only on the first chapter, but there have already been a lot of distracting errors. It feels like there was no proofreader for the book. For example, in the introduction, there is already a mistake. A sentence reads as, "This means that, once you develop the knowhow, you can create a customized experience (with Linux) that will do exactly what you need, allowing yourself to optimize the setup you have and ensure that the setup you have." Ensure that the setup does what?On page 1, "First, you will discuss what operation systems are to develop the foundational information you will need to guide you through the rest of the book." Oh, really? I thought the book would do that, but apparently I will instead.On page 8, "However, you can also upgrade them (OS) or change out your operating system for another one if you find that another one." If you find that another one what?I will keep reading to try and learn about Linux, but the amount of errors makes me highly question this publishing company and, to a lesser extent, author. I would email the author about my critique, as he says to do in his bio, but they forgot to actually include his email address.

Great book, must buy if your starting out in linux

It uses large print and very wide spacing to expand what is really a 90 page book to a 184 page book and accoringly cannot hope to be useful introduction to linux.I have only been using Linux for a month but gained nothing from it.Not worth even $10.
