No. There is plenty of documentation scattered all over the place,
making sense of it is the hard part.

Take a visit to your local library and have a browse or borrow some
books on Linux. There are some books for Windows users wanting to
migrate to Linux. They usually have glossy pages with nice pictures.

Can you be more specific on the type of books/pdfs you want?

First off, read the Debian Installation Manual. Also the Debian
Reference Manual.

These are awesome guides, and Debian is easy to install, so you can
also learn following your specific needs after installation.

If you want some general guide that can apply to all distros, yet suit
Debian just fine, I recommend the famous Oreilly's book Linux Cookbook.
It taught me a lot at the time I used Ubuntu (my first distro), and the
recipes apply to all distros (with distro-specific differences).
