From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The best thing to do imo is insight thru experience - build your own networks (plural), your own software, secure them then connect them.
That was honestly what I was trying, but I felt myself blindly following tutorials without understanding what any of those components are or doing. And searching individual terms was not good enough. The concepts seem intertwined, and searching the web only gave me surface level explanations that didn't cut it.
I've fallen in the same hole before. tbh in my experience you don't really learn much until things start breaking.
build some of your own projects then. For example, my router has split routing between sites that require no VPN and normal sites. Find a project to do that isn't covered by tutorials, or read manuals instead of tutorials
