What night you suggest as a starting point for a person going from the GUI to a terminal for the very first time?

The Linux Command Line, perhaps? https://nostarch.com/tlcl2 As for myself, I recall early on systematically reading the manpages for everything in /bin and /usr/bin. But that may not be the most efficient way, especially on Linux where the manpage quality is somewhat variable (I learned on OpenBSD, where manpages are, frankly, much better). I also got a copy of The Unix Programming Environment by Kernighan & Pike, and found it surprisingly timeless. But it doesn't really cater to the desktop-to-CLI use case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unix_Programming_Environment -- Anthony J. Bentley
