Ask HN: Please recommend me ebooks on Regex and Linux

Hi HN, Can you recommend ebooks to read to introduce me to Regex and/or Linux? I'm currently paging though The Linux Commands Handbook by Flavio Copes which I'm finding good! But I don't want just one resource. I've been a windows user for a long time but have recently been fairly frustrated with it. Things like ads injected into system menus, and the absurd double-layer of settings configurations, are turning me off it, so I've decided to give Linux a try. I've opted for Kubuntu, for a small-step-first introduction and I'm very impressed with how smooth it is. In fact I'm pretty sure I could just use it casually barely noticing it wasn't windows based - an amazing thing when comparing a community project to the mainstay product of one of the world's largest corps. But that's not my aim. I'd prefer to understand the OS a bit more deeply than a casual user. I want to be able to mess around without messing up, it at least to have a shot at knowing what went wrong. I want to be able to use the terminal, not just gui operations. And I want to use some of the power it offers. It'd be helpful to sketch out my level of knowledge but that is actually quite a difficult thing to do. I'm not a developer, have only very basic coding experience, and some more recent very badic scripting experience. I work in an office in a non-technical profession but often use Powershell and cmd in Windows for basic operations. I'm not afraid of reading in plaintext or reading Man before using a command. I know what a piped output is but I've never used regular expressions. Thanks for any tips.
