If I understand correctly, you're asking for books that will teach you logic, problem solving etc? If yes, check these out:

the Proton compatibility makes almost all games work on linux. for work, if you're into programming, it is going to be a much better experience with linux. if you're doing something else, you'll find most windows software works on linux, or you'll find free alternative that work about as good.

is probably much higher for cs than for plumbing?
