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.
Keep a “cheat sheet” of common commands printed out nearby-- either something from the internet and/or a custom one for your own commands.
Also, nobody can remember all the commands. We mostly just remember the ones we use most often. Otherwise, we have to look things up! It’s not too bad since you know that the command exists and you just need to know the exact way to type it.
Find mnemonics to help remember certain things. For example if you want to decompress a .tar file, you remember “xtract zee file” or: tar -xzf
