Linux is a series of distributions. First choose a distribution and install it.

Then as you run into problems, check google to find people with the same problems. That will give you the commands you need to fix things.

Otherwise, just check this out:

You could always buy a Raspberry Pi computer for less than £30 learn on that. I have my RPi running headless connected directly into my router, you can then use SSH to login to the RPi and use Linux for whatever you want to do.
