I think Seun is being a bit extreme. Seems like you possibly want a
good intro and foundation in Linux. As stated, you can install one or
more of the various versions * Linux Mint or Ubuntu, for example; or
there are free courses such as below:
 
Introduction to Linux (course LFS101x)
Introduction to Linux
Develop a good working knowledge of Linux using both the graphical
interface and command line, covering the major Linux distribution
families.

When you sign up, choose “Audit” as your method of taking the class, so
you are not paying anything and you don’t have to worry about credit.
This one starts 1 August. Not sure how it works as far as “later
reviewing a session you miss?” I’m guessing you can replay any session.

Hello,

Welcome, actually you need to tell us what specific challenge/need you
have as you will agree that Linux is just as broad and could mean
anything including a person's name ;) 

Cheers!

My name is Shafieya, I'm a female from Cape Town South Africa. I was
looking to learn more about Linux and was told this is a good place to
start so if you happen to have some info for me on linux please let me

Thank You and Regards!
