🐧 Gentle Linux and the command line

For builders who will put an app online and meet a black window full of text for the first time. No experience needed, only a computer.

Most of the servers that run websites use Linux, and you talk to them by typing short commands instead of clicking. That looks frightening, but there are only a handful of commands you need at first, and the computer always tells you where you are. This is the gentle version: what Linux is, how to move around, and how to stay safe, especially when an AI hands you a command to paste.
