    If you intend on using a normal desktop distro, you will usually be able to find the command for what you want to do online. You may not even end up typing any command, I remember someone who was hyped to use the terminal being disappointed that he never got to.

    The “essential” cli commands are the ones that you will definitely not use in an everyday desktop life. It’s going to be about file manipulation, maybe some daemon management and networking. All of this will be either preconfigured or done through a file explorer and web browser.

    If you can say what you want to do and with what distro, maybe people can try to anticipate what you’ll need? I would generally advise to wait for a reason to use a command before worrying about learning it.
