Hello,

Longtime windoze user (because work, gaming, programming, lazybess, …) I’m switching over to Linux Mint (a slow long process that might finally end up with just a little win-box for the printer and a soft or two) on all my everyday pc:s so I’m trying to get more into the nitty gritty stuff here, and I have long time heard that the:

UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook (4th Edition)

Is like the Linux Bible…

Is it still so? Is it still worth the money or are there better books out there?

Cheers!

    Define “bizzare”. You don’t need to understand too much of federation to be able to use Lemmy.

    Depending on what works and what doesn’t, that mindset may or may not be required to use Lemmy.

    I like Lemmy enough that I will likely spin up my own instance at some point

      The keyword here is "don’t need to understand too much " which is more than for TikTok or Reddit.

      It’s not (yet) very streamlined either, it’s a little bit of work to make your stream of information coming etc.

      Like how a server doesn’t show you all the communities, “only” those users on that server have already subscribed to (+the locals).

      Not that hard but harder than TikTok :-)
