Your best bet is to dive in. Many times the question is, "I would like to learn Linux, how do I begin?" The answer is always the same. Setup a system and dive in. There is no one specific starting point.
Best thing is to type "raspberry pi 2 getting started" into google.com and read the first page of links. See if you can get all that going, understand what they are doing and why. Multiple sites will give a feel for it.
From there, choose a project (like a HTPC) and search that out, see if you can get it working. In fact, do Kodi on Raspbian instead of OpenELEC. It'll let you absorb more info about the Pi and Linux.
It will never work "right" the first time around. Don't worry about that. Don't worry about asking for help. Heck, I've been doing Unix/Linux for...well, a LONG time (so get out of my datacentre! Young hooligans and their lvmthis and lvmthat...) and it still took me numerous tries. You will find other ways, perhaps better ways, of doing things. Or better settings than the ones suggested, then you go back, delete it all and do it again. And again.
Find more projects and do it all over again.
Eventually after a while doing that, you no longer are a total noob, just another bearded, sandaled, t-shirt with cheeto crumbs wearing geek. Welcome to the club.
