Where to "practice Linux" terminal commands

governorkeagan@lemdro.id to Linux@lemmy.ml – 94 points –

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)

IMO the best knowledge comes from doing practical examples that actually interest you. I wouldn't rush that.

This is the crux of my whole life. If I am not interested in something, my entire existence will basically refuse to soak up that knowledge or even try to empathize. It can sometimes suck. I have to walk away if people start engaging in conversations about sports.

It got easier to start digging into CLI after realizing that would be an easy way to get the home media server up and running. And managing local game servers.

It's a little harder to focus on vlans and firewall rules, outside of the repercussions of not setting that up correctly.
