Code:mc
it helps a lot if you feel TOTALLY lost on the CLI...
Sorry for hijacking the thread...
I second this, I have been using Linux for over 20 years, and the first thing I do on any fresh install is "sudo apt install mc htop" as it makes life a lot easier (assuming it's a Debian based system). You get a good menu system that shows you what is possible and even the built-in editor is great for simple tasks. htop gives a little more information than the standard top command.If I am using a GUI I add "synaptic" to the list and "sl" for a laugh
Yea htop is a good choice too, but its a more advanced thing than mc, most people wont ever need or even see the task manager on windows while copying or editing a file is more common even on windows...its a very good suggestion nevertheless...and synaptic, well...most desktop img (if not all) have one package manager pre installed or another...but having the same one on every system is a good plus...
Also i forgot, if mc asks you what editor to use choose nano, its a lot easier too for newbies than vi or the others...also learn the basics about nano xD
