I don't think most subjects are exhausted as far as answers go so I'll post my own opinion.

I'm a linux user and at the linux forums the consensus is Unix is harder to learn/use then Linux. I recommend reading a Redhat administrator guide. They used to be available for free and readily available on the net in pdf or on web sites. Debian and Suse also have very good guides on the net. After you get some command line user experience and have a vague idea of what an administrator would do , I would look into the basics of either os being linux or unix.

The biggest early hurdles are going to be how to partition/install a linux/unix distro and then getting it to boot. Next will be how to get applications installed with a Package Manager. If you use a video card that might also be an issue.

To me computing opinions should not be all that varied but most disagree. I hope this helps.

findfs

FINDFS(8)                                                      System Administration                                                     FINDFS(8)

NAME

       findfs - find a filesystem by label or UUID

SYNOPSIS

       findfs NAME=value

DESCRIPTION

       findfs  will  search the block devices in the system looking for a filesystem or partition with specified tag. The currently supported tags
       are:

       LABEL=<label>
              Specifies filesystem label.

       UUID=<uuid>
              Specifies filesystem UUID.

       PARTUUID=<uuid>
              Specifies partition UUID. This partition identifier is supported for example for GUID  Partition  Table (GPT) partition tables.

       PARTLABEL=<label>
              Specifies partition label (name). The partition labels are supported for example for GUID Partition Table  (GPT)  or  MAC  partition
              tables.

       If the filesystem or partition is found, the device name will be printed on stdout.

       The complete overview about filesystems and partitions you can get for example by

              lsblk --fs

              partx --show <disk>

              blkid

EXIT STATUS

              0      success
              1      label or uuid cannot be found
              2      usage error, wrong number of arguments or unknown option
