is Linux Bible from Negus the best book for starters who want to get into hacking?

I have been using windows WSL for a year now and want to switch to the Linux system. Before doing that, I wanted to get a solid foundations (avoid just googling around to get things solved - at least for this part now when things are so basic and the subject is so new to me).

The goal is to get into penetration testing and all the hacking stuff.

My strategy until now was to read entirely the book *Linux Bible from Negus*, but I started questioning myself if I would be losing time and therefore I should just get into the hacking books.

Any thoughts from any hacker/linux user that has already read that book?
