for real though, modern linux distros will rarely require you to enter a command line, and if you do, a quick internet search can usually help you find out what you need to enter

    That said, I’m giving bad advice in that you should never run a command on your computer that you don’t understand.

    totally, most of the time you'll be fine but it's worth learning some of the basic commands (ls, rm, cd, etc.) so you can at least understand what commands do. on systemd-based distros (most of them are these days for those unfamiliar), it's a good idea to learn how to use systemctl as well

      Most basic users would only really need to learn apt to fill in the gaps and use GUI stuff for the rest.
