Nothing else has the support of the community etc. Maybe the Raspberry Pi, but it is the new kid on the block and some documentation is proprietary so what you have is as open as it gets. You have to start eating the elephant a bit at a time. After you have dug a bit ... ask questions. Look around the elinux site, get on IRC etc. You aren't going to find some book that contains all you seek. If that is what you are looking for then you need to be messing with Microsoft style OS.
You have to dig and figure things out and ask questions. I've been doing Linux since the start and still feel like a babe in some areas (some would say all areas). You are right, you are in a big pool. Swim! There are tons of folks in the water with you!
