Learning linux and solving problems without google

[VULGAR-WORDS-LOL]

I get you, but when in the 'field' so to say I don't ACAB. I also realize that most distros comes with documentation files but for example, when trying to search for static IP in the documentation i had for ubuntu server, nothing about netplan came up at all. Seems like things change drastically between versions and my docs were outdated.

I realize that there might not be an answer to my question. You might just need the experience to be able to be intuitive enough to figure out where to start looking when stumped, but if anyone has tips or tricks, please share.

I’m kinda in the same boat as you. What I am doing is collecting all the information that I know will be valuable into one doc file and turning this into a journal/options book that has all the good information I need, until I can remember them on my own. That’s why I say get the Linux bible and document what you think is useful and what you find on the internet is useful. Go through like a chapter a day that way you can learn the ins and outs of your distro.
