Coming soon - my book Linux for the rest of us
In recent blog posts, I have hinted that I have been writing my own book for quite some time. My goal for this book has always been, much like through this website, to bring Linux closer to normal users by providing easy-to-understand tutorials and background information in an accessible way. Because of the many articles I have written for reallinuxuser.com, I had a lot of material at my disposal as a good foundation for writing this book. And now it is almost time that, after about 2 years of research and writing, I can proudly share that I have completed my book.
In the coming weeks, my book “Linux for the rest of us” will be available through Amazon KDP in paperback and Kindle eBook format. I am now busy with the final preparations and administrative actions to be able to publish the book. In approximately 370 pages in 6 by 9 inches format, the book helps novice Linux users, doubters, and potential switchers, to understand what Linux is, what choices to make and how, to properly choose the right distribution, where to find Linux distributions, how to create a Linux live USB media, how to make sure you have a secure download to start with, how to install Linux, how to get the system working optimally for different hardware types, how to find and install beautiful applications, and it also offers many more interesting topics that will help you further in your Linux journey. The book will help anyone who is not really interested in the most in-depth technical aspects but wants to use a computer for productive purposes, to understand, set up, and use their new Linux system in an effective way, according to a logical step-by-step approach.
