Good thing about nodern terminal is that you don't need to remember much. It's all autocomplete this days, everything has help and there are helpers all over. As a fellow memory challenged, I love it

Terminal commands and Weird Al lyrics might have more in common than you think.

for me its basically

1 problem comes up

2a search problem and find one liner terminal paste solution

or

2b search problem for like 17 pages and find a 3 separate menu 47 click and 2 regedit solution

I've been on Mint for like 2 years and I haven't opened the terminal yet.

If you're not into using the terminal, I'm going to suggest looking into one of the immutable distros (Bazzite if you're heavily into gaming, Aurora/Bluefin if you're more generic Windows/Mac respectively).

All the important things that make the computer run, you can't (easily) change. All the stuff you care about, you can. As long as you reboot it from time to time, it'll always be up to date. It's meant for people who just want to use their computer and not tinker too much with it.

• SH - Bourne Shell,
• BASH - Bourne Again Shell

Once you figure those two out Linux becomes ridiculously easy afterwards as those will be your standard shells to use which provide a set list of basic commands like cd, nano, cat, ls, rm and so on, then you want to figure out which package manager your distro uses like Apt, Dpkg, Yum, Pacman so you can install software from their respective repositories.

Then you figure out which software is Cli (command line) based and which have actual user interfaces, Cli based software will likely introduce new commands to your shells.
