Trying to learn Linux, coming from windows (lemmy.zip)

As someone who grew up using windows, is there a series of tutorials or videos y'all recommend to learn Linux? I find myself running into issues, trying to find solutions online, and not even understanding the instructions. I'm sure most of this comes from not knowing bash (which I've started to learn using https://labex.io/linuxjourney).

Background: I'm a very competent windows user. I've built my own PC, etc. I mostly use it for gaming and Internet now but want to start self hosting some things. Oh, and I'm running bazzite.

Anyway, just trying to get out from Microsoft's thumb.

Cheers.

Edit: thanks for the replies everyone. I haven't had a chance to read through them all yet; the whole family is suddenly sick.

I am also self taught. I really started where you are: installing it and trying to troubleshoot. The more I wanted to personalize my system, the more I saw frequent terms and had to learn commands etc. just on the fly. It's like full immersion learning. Do what the steps say when you look up how to fix something and you'll get it. Learning a whole language isn't necessary until you have to apply it.
