Over time, Linux has undergone many changes and has evolved to be the world's most used platform for internet servers. For instance, Amazon and Google run on Linux. As more and more servers and people opt for Linux, it gives rise to the need for most of the tech community to be fluent with it. Fluency with the powerful operating system however means that you have to shun the use of the graphical user interface - what most of the other popular operating systems are based on and switch to the command-line interface. This is the only way to have full control of Linux.
This guide will help you learn everything there is to know about the Linux command line and help you familiarize yourself with a wide array of useful commands - all without assuming that you have prior experience with Linux.
