I’ve been using Linux for about 7 months now and have become a lot more comfortable using the terminal but I feel like there is more that I can learn.

Most of my work is done in a browser or DaVinci Resolve. I do try to use the terminal where possible but it’s limited due to my workflow.

Are there any interactive sites where I can practice/learn the terminal? I’m going through Linux Survival at the moment.

EDIT: I forgot to add some important details.

I don’t have a massive need for the terminal for my current workflow but I think it is important to know (looks good for any future job applications as well) and expand your knowledge on things that interest you when possible.

In the future, I hope to have a home lab/NAS running Linux. I will most likely SSH into that and I’d like to deal with any issues via the terminal.

I use Arch btw (technically EndeavourOS)

    I have never practiced using the terminal. The only way I learned was using the terminal to do my tasks and fix things when they broke.

    Just start this project. That will teach you about how to use the terminal in a practical setting

      Want to add a few things to try

      • Create a new file and edit it with nano.
      • Create and navigate directories
      • Copy a folder to another spot
      • Update your system and install a package with pacman
      • Start, stop, and check the status of a service. Maybe sshd
      • Use find and grep to find all files with a certain extension (this will involve the wildcard character *

      This is just a small list off the top of my head. Doing your everyday tasks with the terminal is a great way to start to understand how it works.
