Time: 5-10 minutes

Purpose: To consider why youโ€™d like to learn Linux commands and identify some of the hurdles that have been or could slow down your progress so you can make the jump!

Introduction:
Previously, I struggled to get to grips with learning how to use the command line, it took many attempts and some on and off learning before I started using the command line regularly to support my testing efforts.

Here are some hurdles I came across:

  • Text-based system is intimidating and difficult to learn
  • Jargon
  • UI is easier
  • Donโ€™t use it daily
