I’m a Windows user of all life. But I love Linux. And these last two years after so many time I started learning it in deep . But one thing is bugging me is that I am those persons that has bad times remembering names, words… imagine commands… Even after using it so much I remember some basics but I’m struggling a lot and I have to go back to notes constantly to do some basic operations. Even worst after trying multiple distro from from different upstreams that commands are … Different. What would be your recommendations to help me. Are there tools to help this issue ? My guess is that A LOT of people happens the same. And it’s one of the reasons Linux has such a slow adption . Because is excellent and full of capabilities.

    I suggest having a GNU command cheatsheet set as your wallpaper or getting a Linux cheatsheet deskmat.

    Repetition is key and eventually you will get the hang of it.

      This. If you do a search for Linux command wallpaper, you’ll find a version I used to get myself going.

      My old team was a small windows team and a large *nix team. I was always scrounging for work, and I had been playing with Linux and bsd/Mac for a awhile. My manager added me to the patching team with a shadow. I was good within a few months for most things.

      It’s best if you have a goal in mind, like with programming.
