I get that 'learning by doing' is key, but don’t overlook reading up as well. I actually created a guide for new Linux users and gamers, which you might find handy. It has a section dedicated to online documentation and reference material that can really help you get started!
There are just some essential commands you should familiarize yourself with, like 'sudo', 'apt', 'ls', 'cd', 'rm', 'mv', and 'cp'. A quick search for those will lead you to plenty of examples and explanations.
A great way to learn is just by diving in and trying things out on Linux. There are tons of YouTube tutorials that cover a wide range of topics related to Linux. Just search for what you want to learn and you’ll find loads of helpful videos!
You can look at the DigitalOcean tutorial on Linux commands. It’s a solid resource that covers a lot of the basics! Check it out if you need a comprehensive overview.
I highly recommend the book 'The Linux Command Line' by William Shotts. It's available for free online and is an incredible resource for learning all about what you can do in the command line. Just a heads up, you might find yourself hooked on it!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely check out your guide.
