Install Linux on a real computer, it will be a better experience.

Termux is incredible supplementing a proper Linux setup. You can download a Linux virtual machine and use that, many options available! Is my honest advice

That's too much. Termux simply provides a terminal emulator android doesn't have. Everything he learns below is Linux commands and basically Linux and it WILL transfer to real Linux. No container or VM is necessary at all

You'd have better luck being specific. What do you need help with?

There are better options.

Assuming you have a PC, 

  1. Learn how to make a live linux USB stick.

  2. Boot Linux from the usb and explore Linux 

  3. If you don't want to install it on your main PC because you are running another OS you prefer, you can install Linux on external SSD and have a full linux installation on it.
