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.

It has been a long time since my transition. I remember the journey well. I used to watch nixie does linux and a specific queries for different problems I had in both youtube and google to get what I needed.

I did a search on YT and came up with this video that was derived from the linux foundation. Only watched a few minutes bit might be a good place to start.
