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)

    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.
