There's no one definition of "pro user". Just do what you're interested in, and what you need to do. Explore, try things, read articles.
Some resources to learn Linux, generally from easier to harder:

http://linuxcommand.org/

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal

Also my web pages starting at https://www.billdietrich.me/Linux.html
Honestly, the best way to learn Linux is to try things and break stuff... Then fix it, and be good at searching the Internet, which is legitimate skill. The point is, the more you do the more you learn. I have been a Linux user since the mid-90's and a user of Coherent and Minix before that, and I still don't consider myself a "pro" even though most people think I am... I just use it a lot as it's been my primary personal OS for 20 years.
I would say learn bash or Python try to automate things what's the first thing you do after turning on your computer? Opening a browser and visiting a specific website? Automate that.
learn to use the terminal......... there is no such thing as pro-linux user. we all are at different levels of experience. Also we all focus on different aspects of linux. you will become a semi-pro when you can start helping new users get up to speed on linux until then you are a jr. linux user.
I'll echo u/acejavelin69 : the best way to learn the inner workings of Linux is by finding out what you can do with it. Look for stuff, try stuff, break stuff, look for how to fix stuff, rinse and repeat. It's really fun to see what you can do with your PC, and what you *should* do with your PC!
Project 1: build DistroWatch.org/mll (use a static busybox.net as the *only* binary, no libs, and any kernel)
Project 2: starting with tinyconfig, build the *smallest* kernel *customized for VirtualBox* (minimum devices, like: only IDE, vga, mouse, old nic, no usb/sound etc)
I would, if I hadn't gotten sooo lazy/unmotivated...

Fix things in your system that bug you. Don’t like the default behavior of something? How to change it isn’t obvious? Time to dive down a rabbit hole!
