        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
