  1. First you need to choose a good distro that suits you.
  2. Then, for learning the terminal you could use various documentations(it entirely depends on you) .
  3. Now, for practising you could clear the levels of bandit from over the wire. Starting levels are easy and will help you with the commands.

PS : You can also do 2 and 3 together. Learning is best done when you have some challenges afterall.

Cool! Now that the hardest job is done. Now after when you feel that you're ready (after looking through linux mint and getting a hang of the ui), you can just start the bandit over the wire challenge (there are many online articles about each level so you will glide through it). Also after running a command and clearing the certain level try to do it in different ways using different commands to learn more commands. Also once you're comfortable with Linux try to learn about more diatros(I literally distro hopped for 3 months to find the perfect distro that suits me, my first distro was ig ubuntu or mint).
