I seem to remember needing a special drive to read the x-box discs. But i might be wrong.

Neo scavenger might fit the bill. You start out naked in a Detroit that has no regard for the player.

Personally i bought How Linux Works, 3rd Edition and Linux Pocket Guide.

Books that goes from the sytem architecture and from there gives you context for what you are trying to do. They work when your system won’t and you can write in them.

But you should learn in a way that feels good to you. Also, check out the forum for your distro and DE.
