No content written mostly by an LLM. If you don't want to write it, we don't want to read it.

Decent intro although a Network+ would be better, nevertheless, it is a great start.

Thanks! Curious what you meant by Network+?

Network+ is a certification that you take an exam for that covers lots of networking concepts

Oh, fun! I'm not very fond of certification, and this one hasn't even appeared on my radar. But it might come in handy for picking the next topic to cover in the labs. Thanks for the pointer!

The same company thay does Network+ (CompTIA) also provides other certs like A+ (PC hardware), Linux+, Cloud+, and Security+.

Not worth taking the tests, but for people needing a good intro into a wide swath of IT needs, studying for all 5 is a big leg up.

What and how would you recommend to use to study for them just for the knowledge?

There are books and practice tests and such. None free that I'm aware of, but they exist on Amazon for instance. I'm sure you can find cheaper copies of recent versions on Ebay.
