      Yeah, once you get the basics of BASH down Linux becomes really easy.

      Open up your Console/Shell/Terminal and type “help” it will give you the list of standard commands that let you navigate the shell.

      • cd = change directory
      • mkdir = make directory
      • nano = edit file
      • rm = remove file
      • rmdir = remove directory
      • sudo = run command as administrator/root privileges

      And once you get that going you’ll eventually get the options for each command, for example rm -rf is remove a file forcefully (the -f option), if you apply that command to directories it will remove anything within those directories with recursion (the -r option).

      You also don’t need to cd into a directory if you want to edit a file in it. For example nano /home/user/Desktop/SomeRandomFile.conf
