I need to learn jq.
I'm used to parsing JSON with PowerShell which is logical and easy to use. I even install PowerShell Core on my Linux systems so I don't have to learn to use jq.
But now I have to learn to do it with jq because that's all that's available for this particular linux-ish automation platform.
I can't seem to find a good, physical book to buy for it.
I was really hoping O'Reilly had a pocket guide like sed & awk Pocket Reference but for jq but it doesn't look like it.

What physical books would you recommend?

Learning linux is a great career goal. But how to get started? Well you need some basics, but you also need something to do with linux, otherwise its just this thing that you don't have a reason to use.

I think step one, should be to build a #homelab that will let you run systems to learn on. So, In the first episode of my practical Learning Linux it's all abou thow to turn an old Laptop into a basic Linux based Homelab hypervisor!

Weird idea:

My gaming computer has about 14.5 TB of storage broken up between two spinning rust drives, one SSD, and an nvme.

So I'm thinking...

8tb rust (/opt/steam/slow)
4tb rust (/opt/steam/slow)
2tb SSD (/opt/steam/fast)
512 Nvme (/)

Evidently I can do the chicanery of the first two drives if I make an lvm pool of them? First time I'm screwing with this sort of thing.

And, yes. I only bought those drives for steam storage. Combination of being annoyed at constantly cycling games and storage being dirt cheap around the holidays.

Got stuck for about 2 hours when my #opensuse #tumbleweed installation has gone to the emergency mode. Imagine the look in the eyes of a #linux #newbie haha...
Luckily, I've found out there is an ellegant one-line solution.
In the end, data saved, system is working again, all good.

@nadiaalbelushi I've always been super afraid to transition to Linux, although I'm very interested in it. I'm in the process of moving my main contacts over to a non Google, non Outlook associated email.

And I'm working to find a proper non android phone, or maybe learning how to root one. I'm sort of tech savvy, but it's been a long time that I wouldn't even know where to start. I'm a little intimidated by it.

Just curious, what is everyone's experience with Linux From Scratch? Like what are some cool things you have done with it? Customizations and such? Love to see some screen shots or videos for customization of Linux from Scratch.

I tried to install #BatoceraLinux on my laptop yesterday. Alas, the gz archive is apparently corrupted, I can't extract the image file from it.
Or is the error on my side? Might be.

Since I've found LINUX MAGAZINE - @linuxmagazine - along with, obviously, LINUX FORMAT, I got hooked up a lot! Just got a latest issue of the Linux Magazine, again, it's terrific, half of the things I have no clue about (lol), which makes further researching and learning so much fun!
I'm gonna miss those mags in print once I move back home...

Hmm...I see YT videos about why people quit #linux and go back to Windows. OK, I see the point with gaming. Also for, say, very specialized userbase.
But nope, for using browser, #libreoffice and #audacity and a few other common apps, I definitely don't need to use Windows.
I still need to learn loads of things, but for what my work requires, I am more than comfortable.
People just need to leave their comfort zone...for something better.

After trying out #antix on an old HP Mini 210 Netbook, I dug out an old and dusty HP Pavilion Slimline previously used by my parents. It's a #32bit Intel Pentium E6500 @ 2.93GHz, 2GB DDR3 1066MHz, ATI Radeon HD 4350 with Windows 7. I did a backup of their personal files and unplugged the HDD. I installed the Samsung #870Evo SSD and decided to install #DebianBookworm #debian12. It went successfully! I just used the i386 CD iso image from the Debian site on the #Ventoy drive. #learninglinux
