If I want to install something, I can either do “dnf install [program name]” or “flatpak install [program name]”. Same goes for when I want to remove a program. And for flatpak at least, I typed ONE WORD from a game I was uninstalling because I didn’t remember to exact tag and flatpak asked me “do you want to install [full tag of game]? y/n” like HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE THAT IS SO CONVENIENT

    Also available,

    dnf search [package name]

    flatpak search [package name]

    And just wait until you learn about pwd, cd, ls, man, the list goes on!

    And then aliasing, I have a combo of cd and ls I aliased to cdls, it’s glorious, and I’m still a beginner too!

    Dude go to youtube and search “bash basics” and “linux cli basics” and watch a couple of them, and follow along in your terminal like you’re taking a class. Be careful with sudo or su but otherwise you should be fine! Welcome to the beginning of a new and wonderful journey!

      If you’re more of a reader than a watcher, there are also many searchable individual pages to help with this. Personally, I’ve learned a lot from TLDP.

        Yup! And of course uninstall things, too!

        Beginner’s Guide to Bash in Terminal

        And this is one of the videos that really helped me get comfortable with the CLI, there’s others too, but this was the first one I recognized from the thumbnail.

        Tbh I may watch a few myself, see if there’s any tips I’ve forgotten or hadn’t seen in the past from new vids.
