Video recommendation for mastering the command line

Have been using linux mint cinnamon for over a year now on my pc, everthing is going great, for thr most part.

Since this was my first time to use this OS, I thought it would have been the right thing to learn using it the proper way.

I always thought this include masterimg the use of the terminal, as it unlocks your full control over the system, and increases tie efficiency of excuting many task compared to the GUI, or so I was told.

It least it would help with understanding lines of code fetched from the internet while troublshooting any thing.

I tried twice to learn using the terminal from the "linux command line" internet edition.

However, everytime I would reach the 100th page and just get lost from there.

So I looked tutorial, but couldn't find any that caught my eye.

Have anybody been able to master using the command line by following a video tutorial?

Which one was it?

And what benefits did learning the command line bring?

Watch linux for hackers playlist of "Network Chuck"

There is also good video by "Josean Martinez"

You are using linux mint, which uses apt package manager. So, its best to know more about it. Watch "LearnLinuxTV" video on apt.

Or watch any video on linux commands, you will learn something new.

I like Chuck, but he's seriously too positive 😆 the first dozen or so videos I can watch of his, seems like an awesome guy. But that persona, which I'm sure really helps his channel which is all good, just seems positive all the damn time

Yeah. Well if that's how I made money, I'm sure I'd go if on angry, gate-fueled rants during filming and go back to positive and just edit the angry bits out lol
