There isn't a single "Linux guide." The main issue is the variety of dialects like Debian, Suse, Red Hat, etc., which can change command syntax for certain tasks. It's better to get familiar with your preferred distribution and learn its specifics. Since Parrot is Debian-based, you'll find a vast amount of resources available, as Debian-based distros are among the most popular (elementaryOS, Mint, Ubuntu, etc.).
Suggest doing one task at a time. You're attempting to study ethical hacking while also using GNU/Linux, which is like trying to run and cycle before you know how to walk. Begin with Ubuntu and stick to it for a while. Also explore Bash scripting, as it will be very helpful.
Thanks for the advice, so I'm planning to put on hold and focus on learning ethical hacking. I want to get my hands on Ubuntu now. I've tried it before but had a lot of issues adding repositories—like if I wanted to install a script, there were always missing things. I started using Kali Linux as my first Linux machine, which was okay for me at the time. I was mainly focused on ethical hacking and just picked what interested me without following strict guidelines. Now I realize I need a more professional approach, which is why I'm taking this step. Thanks for the encouragement!
I've experimented with several distros, but I wasn't comfortable using the terminal. I've tried all kinds and think Ubuntu is a good fit since I'm already familiar with its commands and syntax. Thanks for the advice!
If you're keen on ethical hacking, you'll find network tools useful regardless of whether they're CLI or have a GUI. Both Linux and Windows offer various programs with different syntaxes. Understanding the command line isn't always necessary for everyday tasks on most Linux distributions. For a deeper dive into how Linux functions, try exploring "LFS Linux From Scratch."
I didn’t stick to any specific guidelines; I just picked what I wanted to study. I learned some networking tools such as aircrack-ng, basic packet concepts, and wireshark. I’m really interested in getting into Linux now, so I’m going to give it a shot. Thanks for your support!
EDX offers an introductory Linux course, though it may need some updating. It’s generally free to access.
The table of contents focuses on the LPIC1 exam preparation. It provides essential concepts and covers key topics, including understanding man pages—such as using `man ls` to learn about command functionality and related commands.
