Is there a book or source that teaches Operating System concepts such as Multi-Process, Signal, File System and mmap in Rust?
Tsinghua university offers a OS course with their OS written in rust. https://github.com/rcore-os/rCore. I haven't checked out the content myself but have heard really good words about it.

What beginner-level projects can I do now that I've just started learning rust?
The -musl targets for Linux make it easy to dodge the need to compile against the oldest glibc you want to support if your project is pure Rust and cross is a Docker wrapper which aims to make cross-targeting in other scenarios as easy as with Go.)

What use cases does Rust cover better than Go?
...though, funny enough, if you have enough experience with Rust to not get bogged down in the details and you use cross to work around Rust's "take your time but get it right" approach to cross-building, Rust is often better at little CLI tools, purely because of how valuable it is to be able to teach the type system to check so many invariants at compile time.

Need help building a Rust program for other distros of Linux
Another thing to keep in mind for if just using the musl target with your usual setup is insufficient (eg. if you need to use a crate like ttspico which statically links some C code) is cross, which makes it really easy to use Docker to build and run tests.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing rCore and cross you can also consider the following projects:
