Hey everyone! I recently installed MX Linux and dual-booted antiX on my old 2009 machine, and I'm feeling a bit lost in the Terminal. I'm eager to become more proficient, as I know that mastering it will really boost my skills. Could anyone recommend some online resources or individuals—both famous and less known—that explain Terminal concepts well? I'm all set to put in the effort! I like learning through hands-on experience; for example, I managed to fix a brake light issue with some research and a bit of adaptation, which saved me a ton of money. My goal is to build a strong foundation in how the Terminal works. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hey! Check out the resources page on the Linux 4 Noobs wiki; it’s got some great info! Also, try searching for 'learning/research' topics there for more tailored suggestions. And don’t forget—make backups, experiment in a virtual machine, and always double-check commands before hitting Enter!
For a solid start, I recommend the website LinuxCommand.org. It’s a great resource for understanding the basics and nuances of using the Terminal.
The best way to learn is just to dive in! Use the 'man' command for any terminal app—just type 'man' followed by the command name to see its manual page. For example, 'man lspci' gives you all the details. If the man page is too long, try using 'tldr' for a simplified version.
Honestly, most terminal applications come with built-in manuals. Every app in '/usr/bin' has a manual you can check. Get comfortable using them, and you’ll find you can learn about commands quickly. Yes, it might take time, but it’s worth it!
