From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Any really good source to learn advanced bash? (sh.itjust.works)

There is lots of books, videos and manuals about bash. So it is hard to tell if one is good or not. By advanced bash I mean regular expressions, complex scripts, and kind-of obscure options of basic commands no beginner tutorial tells about.

Not to be that gal, but... the GNU site's Bash Reference Manual documents everything you could ever want to know right up until you get into weird edge cases and abusing bugs/unintended behaviors for your own nefarious purposes.

For that, others have pointed to YSAP, whom I will also recommend. I can't find it right now, but I swear in some videos he mentions a website or forum where people discussi Bash extremely in-depth, and that is end-game stuff (the stuff you learn right before you start auditing the code yourself or editing the source to enable your own custom behaviors)
