You should really remove the entire PDF of the book that you've shared on a public repo. No Starch Press is a gem and worth protecting.

  Why is that relevant? Are you saying that this PDF is infected?

    On top of that, who uses Adobe software to read most PDFs?

For anyone just starting I highly recommend: "Linux Pocket Guide" and if moving forward adopting linux as a daily driver "Efficient Linux At The Command Line". Both books by Daniel J. Barnett.

Even if you're a seasoned Linux user you will learn a lot from those books.

Based on the nearly decade old first edition of the book (2018). I was wondering about the retro vibes.
