The Linux Command Line, perhaps?

As for myself, I recall early on systematically reading the manpages for
everything in /bin and /usr/bin. But that may not be the most efficient
way, especially on Linux where the manpage quality is somewhat variable
(I learned on OpenBSD, where manpages are, frankly, much better).

I also got a copy of The Unix Programming Environment by Kernighan & Pike,
and found it surprisingly timeless. But it doesn't really cater to the
desktop-to-CLI use case.
