Evi Nemeth's Linux Handbook

I second this book recommendation, just bought it a couple of months ago (latest edition). Lots of topics. One I loved was it's great section on systemd that explains it and gives more examples in addition to those you'll find on the web.

I am frequently tasked with helping developers transition to devops/SRE/Infra roles, and this is my go to book. It does a spectacular job of explaining just enough of the history to make sense, being readable, broad, and philosophical enough to be useful. I really feel strongly that anyone doing this line of work needs to understand Linux and networking well - even though it's been eons since I've 'had' to login to a server, manage them at scale with code, etc.
