    What is the best resource for learning other OS? I’m thinking Linux but am pretty open since I am not knowledgeable.

      It depends on what you are trying to learn. If it’s just using it as a desktop then it’s more a matter of just using it for a while to change your muscle memory from Win or Mac.

      If you’re looking for more of a command line/server experience, most distros have excellent documentation. This may be a minority opinion, but I personally like Oracle Linux (a Red Hat clone) and their documentation; https://docs.oracle.com/en/operating-systems/oracle-linux/index.html

      I also like FreeBSD which isn’t technically Linux but very similar in a lot of regards. They also have excellent documentation; https://docs.freebsd.org/en/

      Ultimately, which distro you wind up liking is entirely subjective and one of the great aspects of the open source world. Oracle in particular you may see a lot of hate towards, but I’ve always had good success with their products and support. Best of luck!
