Recommendations about learning computer memory

Hello guys. This question is not about rust itself, but while coming from JS and Python I want to get better understanding about basic things from under the hood. To become confident rust developer I definitely need and want know more about conceptions and particular solutions and their origin. The thing probably not about very low level hardware things, but about some practical knowledge which helps me write better code and better understand what exactly I'm doing and what rust does under the hood.

So could you please share some resources - articles, books etc. about memory management theory for beginners.

I realise it's a quite big topic. Basically it's complex discipline, but still.

For a Rust newbie - can you ELI5 how the ownership and lifetimes work?

For a Rust newbie - can you ELI5 how the ownership and lifetimes work?

I've gone through a lot of the book, but I keep getting stuck on this topic. I've been programming for almost 2 years now, but I've only ever used languages with a garbage collector - Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, Python.

I'm mostly looking for conceptual explanations, though some code would be nice as well to demonstrate.

Thank you!

Edit:
Thank you very much to everyone who responded! I really think I got it now. The Rust community is incredible!
