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.

Yes save your commands. I put a commands text file on my nas so I can access from any pc. Or use joplin or another note program with sync. Save the command and a quick descriptor. Then you can even access that text file quick from within terminal using a text editor like nano or vim.

I set an alias up so if I type "command" it actually runs something like "nano /home/mnt/nas/command txt" and I can see them right there.
