Is there an updated/new version of TLDP HowTos?


I was looking for a way to "get into Systems Programming" by following some tutorials. A friend of mine, a seasoned systems programmer, recommended just following a few HowTos to get familiar with Linux and some real world know-how.

He forwarded this website: https://tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html.

The HowTos are from between 1995 and 2004. I wonder if there is a newer resource out there which is more related to current implementations I can follow?

I loved TLDP and it was key for me coming up in Linux. I'd say the closest thing now is the Arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/) . On Arch the user chooses really everything after the package manager, so you'll find good, clear doco on whatever combination of tools your distro uses.

If you're looking for help with package managers, you're stuck with the distro's own documentation. :)
