Before commands, I want to introduce you Terminal.
The terminal is software as commands prompt available is window operating system. Linux works on command system, hacking also.

To understand File directory of Linux is important.

Directory mean folder root is the Main directory of Linux it is shown denoted by /
ll other folders of Linux are subdirectories some important Subdirectories are shown in the screenshot.

Now / [known as root] is parent directory of Linux. bin, opt, home, tmp, var, etc are subdirectories.
Bin: it stands for binary.  It contains all commands.
opt: opt mean optional. In this directory all program available what you want to install like chrome.
home: This directory has personal data which made when you create an account like john in above screenshot.
