I use Linux as my daily driver and I still don't understand half of what people say when they talk about Linux. I support this idea. Not because I have dumb questions, of course, but I think everyone else's would be very educational....

It helps to look up certain concepts in the Wiki (Arch Wiki is probably the most complete and well explained) as you come across them. The idea is to increase knowledge little by little, but over time it compounds.

I will. It's mostly the conceptual stuff I need to grasp the context. Me and Google "how to grep" or "how to install .deb files" are old friends.

There are no dumb questions but the ones unasked. Start small, baby steps.

It's not stupid to ask questions! That's how you stop being stupid!

Me either though to be fair I use linux mint which is very user friendly.
