And how do you make sense of the seemingly endless list of commands? Don't worry, we've got you covered.

First things first, it's important to understand that Linux/Unix commands are often referred to as shell commands or terminal commands. This terminology is crucial as it forms the basis of your interaction with the Linux system. So, what exactly is a 'shell'? In computing terminology, a 'shell' is a program that interprets the commands. It's your interface to the Linux system, and it's how you tell the system what you want it to do.

Now, you might be wondering, "Do I need to memorize all Linux/Unix commands?" The answer is, thankfully, no. You only need to familiarize yourself with the most commonly used ones. There's no need to overwhelm yourself with the entire command library. In fact, even seasoned sysadmins rarely use more than a fraction of the available commands on a daily basis.

But how do you get comfortable with these commands? The answer is simple - practice. The best way to get comfortable with Linux/Unix commands is to use them regularly. It's like learning a new language - the more you use it, the more fluent you become. And remember, it's okay to make mistakes. That's how you learn. So, don't be afraid to experiment and try out new commands.

Finally, we understand that learning Linux can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be.
