"Give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime."
Linux commands often have man pages. Let's say you wanted to know what sudo does. You would type the command: man sudo and read the man page. Sometimes the man pages are a little short and somewhat useless. Sometimes they can be so huge that it could take days to read. If you can't find a man page for a specific command you can use the -k option like this: man -k sudo. Then pick something, if anything looks helpful, and read the man page for that item. Bing has a nice feature called Co-Pilot that tends to answer most such questions pretty well and tends to be friendly. I am glad to see the friendly and helpful responses here on this page, which is the way it should be. I would also point out that eventually you will have many more questions and it will be helpful to you if you know how to use these other resources too. I don't want this to come across as apathetic or dismissive because that is certainly not my intent. I want to help empower you to become more effective in learning about the things that you find interesting.
