     @itsfoss Use Midnight Commander! It's much easier to get started when you can navigate directories and manipulate files without having to remember any commands. Once you have a good mental model of the filesystem you can start using the commands that make sense for you.

     @itsfoss Start with a sacrificial VM or other install where you can do *anything* without harming your bread and butter. Do the stupid things, learn how they work and why they're stupid.

     @itsfoss always test and validate! never "assume" how things work. Your assumption may be simply wrong.

     @itsfoss search and search and search, you have no idea that a simple search can transform you to an expert on Linux

     @itsfoss Just learn what you need. Nobody can remember all those commands!
