I’ve been using Ubuntu as my primary operating system for more than two years now. If you are comfortable with the command line, you can learn a lot of different skills very quickly and with minimal hassle. In this blog, I have shared the list of 20 basic Linux commands that are very helpful for Ubuntu beginners in daily life. I recommend you not just copy-paste these commands, type these commands by yourself so that you can remember them in future.

Before starting, here is a small tip for Linux lovers: You can check the Internet Speed via terminal just by running this command.

sudo apt install speedtest-cli
speedtest-cli

(The first command is just to install the package and doesn’t need to be run again and again)

1-cd

The cd (‘change directory’) command is used to change the current directory in Linux

cd Desktop

2-ls

The ls (‘list directory contents’) command shows existing files and directories in the current directory

ls
