https://www.learnlinux.tv/ - i started with this guy's bash scripting series. learning bash will definitely give you at least a vague idea of what these forum commands are doing
i promote Codecademy every chance I get because they've got some really good free courses, and i actually subscribe to unlock the quizzes and projects. I went through the CompTIA Linux+ certification path last year and it covers a lot.
the most important part: take notes. like you said, there's too much to remember. you gotta have a reference, even a place where you store other references. I use Obsidian, so i use that to search for a topic i may already have notes on already. each topic has links back to references (so many itsFOSS and GeeksForGeeks.org articles, but also youtube videos).
finally, a friendly warning: anytime a linux user uses the word "just" as in "just do this..." Ignore them. It's never "just" something. this means they have lost the ability to put themselves in the shoes of a new user.
yep i use it. the public servers aren't nearly as active as discord, unless you're in a server with a discord bridge. but i mostly use it for this one small server of close friends anyways.

I used to use ClamAV, but not sure I noticed much of a difference, so haven't really used any antivirus software for a while now. Curious what people in this thread think of clam.
I have the original wired HTC Vive with the two sensors that have to be nailed up near the ceiling. I've been hoping to find support for VR tech that old but it looks grim. And I really don't wanna have to buy a new headset when this one still works.
agreed on Mint. Fedora seems to be more on the new, cutting edge side while Mint is stable and reliable. Much more beginner friendly because there's less likely to be errors or niche issues, at least in my experience.
I'm with the once-a-weekers
