Are you referring to how to manipulate files, or more what the various files and folders do?
EDIT, now that I’m typing on a keyboard (connected to a linux PC, obviously), and not on a phone:
Depends entirely on your definition of fun, really, but the way I learnt it was basically by breaking stuff, sometimes intentionally:
:wq
Had no idea that it was such a huge topic :))
Let’s start off with something very simple : how to track a particular file existing in your system ?
Find a file by (case insensitive) file name. Search the whole filesystem (/). Pipe errors to /dev/null (since it will output permission denied errors trying access directories you don’t have access to, among other things)

Thanks. This link arrives just in time.

There’s the program that makes it 3d like in Jurassic park. 3dfsb
Any link regarding this ?

It’s in the AUR if you use arch
Linux from scratch.
Install Arch
Why not MX ?
Haven’t tried MX. The point with installing Arch (even if you just do it half-way) is that you get to tinker with fdisk, fstab, chroot and other disk-related things for setting up your basic system, and the instructions for that are really good.
Bunch of sites out there like: https://www.learncmd.io/
Play hacknet
it’s spelled NetHack
What sort of a game is that ?
Hacking simulator. Gives you a fake Unix-style computer with a terminal and window environment, you try to hack other computers and access a specific file etc
Where to get that ?
Steam and humble bundle probably have it.
Steam for like $3
You can combine practicing navigating the filesystem along with a game like rpg-cli !
You can think of it as basically “programs”, “more programs”, “stuff”, “gubbins”, “misc” and “other”.
