The thing is that my sister is likely to be in the live recording and not necessarily later on.

I'm not sure I'm following. You're anticipating someone will remove your sister from YouTube's recorded version of the live stream...?

If she is walking on the moon, you will definitely find footage of it.

I would look twice before buying - it was published in 2000 and deals with Linux kernel 2.4. Latest kernel version is 5.4 or something. A twenty years old computer book might not be that useful

For me it was "Beginning Linux Programming" by Richard Stones and Neil Matthew. The 4th edition is from 2007. I still have the 1st from 2000. The basics are still the same, and the rest was reading manpages. Basically for any kernel or user land related stuff the manpages are pure gold as soon as you have grokked the basics. To get the grasp of the overall structure of a Linux system (not only the kernel) I recommend to install Arch Linux at least once using the Arch wiki to guide you through it. It is a great learning experience and something any Linux developer should have done. Alternative: Gentoo, but with longer compile time.
@edit: fixed typo

manpages are it. I learned every version of unix this way after a brief overview of useful commands, the most important of which is man.

It depends on a lot on what you want to learn:
1. Writing device drivers? The book you have is probably complete, you'll have to clarify details online unfortunately (which means googling)
2. Using it as a daily desktop? Pick a distro, use whichever resource they advise for learning it
3. Setting up a router/nat/firewall/VPN/DPI? Find a good networking resource, I don't think there's any books for that, which means googling.
4. Writing native applications for it? "UNIX Network Programming" by Stevens is great, but has to be supplemented by the manpages for epoll (for networking, we don't use select() anymore), and has to be supplemented by all the dev manpages as well.
TBH, this is the wrong place to ask; it's a very Microsoft-focused forum. Pick an appropriate Linux sub on reddit and ask there.

Well... I know you've asked for English, and I know that maybe you're not a rookie in what computers are concerned. Since I don't know where you stand in the knowledge spectrum, here are my two cents on this subject.
I used to be a professor in a governmental trade program and I've used this one (in Portuguese) to teach my students almost everything about computers (yes, even how to turn it on or off), filesystems, Linux and whatnot. It is free, has been updated last time in 2020, it has LOTS of old stuff in it (like how to connect two computers using serial or parallel ports O.o). However, if you ignore the 20% of stuff you won't use nowadays, everything else is pretty much up-to-date.
From computer architecture (Registers, DMA, etc.), passing through OSes, drivers, commands, networking, services, security, netiquette (yes, you read it right) and whatnot. The beginner + intermediate levels contain around 370+ pages, and there are advanced and security levels available.
It is available in PDF, HTML and TXT. Brazilian Portuguese is well translated by google translate these days, so since it is free, I really think it is worth a shot.
It is Debian-based, and it will not explain more modern things though (like NAS/RAID/TrueNAS, Wayland and etc.). This is really a Zero to almost Hero material on How computers, networks, services and Linux work.
Pair this thing with the official Git docs, some programming language courses (there are lots of great free books pretty much everywhere), and some Computer Science material (Harvard CS-50, which is free as well and well-known), and you will have a rock-solid foundation.
GuiaFoca — Site Oficial do GuiaFoca - translation: Seal (Foca) Guide (Guia). This is the material I was talking about[^]

I don't have a book suggestion, but recommend installing Linux on a stick. You can experiment with different distros, and can boot most modern PCs from the stick, so you don't have to "sacrifice" a specific box. There are numerous programs that will create a bootable flash drive. The following article lists 15:
https://www.slant.co/topics/12035/~programs-to-make-a-bootable-linux-drive[^]
I don't specifically recommend any, although the last one I used was Rufus.

It has been decades since I used UNIX or XENIX. I have rarely dealt with the Linux copycat of those OSs.
But, I would love to find a tutorial written for the Linux beginner (especially from the perspective of being a longtime Windows user), that teaches how to use Linux, Bash, etc. to a sufficient degree of proficiency.
I would love to know Linux well enough to write C# programs for it. I’ve been writing C# programs for Windows since .NET introduced C#.
I like Windows. I have no issues with it. But I would like to work towards being as proficient in Linux as I am in Windows as a .NET developer.
So if you have suggestions as to a good Linux tutorial (paper or online), please post it.

The best book for learning Linux which would b similar to "MFC internals" is this book, The Linux Programming Interface, by Michael Kerrisk[^]
It is absolutely fantastic. Very well written & starts at a good beginning and builds on the knowledge.
If you ever read Programming Windows with MFC by Jeff Prosise you will find this the similar book.
Or, Programming Windows by Charles Petzold.
Check it out and let me know what you think.

You could try the Debian Administrator's Handbook.
Apart from the cover page and a few graphics in a few pages it's got lots of text... and it doesn't just explain how to manage Debian it goes into other things as well some of which are not Debian specific... give it a shot see if you like it:
Download it from this page
Hope this helps.
