60 Linux Commands You MUST Know (in 10 Minutes)

Getting started with a Raspberry Pi can be daunting. Even if you find a good guide to follow when you first set up your Pi, there’s still so much to learn. Raspberry Pis run on Linux, and if you’ve never used the Linux operating system before, it can seem strange and complicated.
