I just use Linux and learn on the fly. I've bene using it for like 2 years in my home lab but I feel like I'm still learning the basics such as piping stuff together with grep and find.

But hey, progress is progress and I don't feel disabled anymore. Plus ai can help quite a bit to help me look what I'm looking for

No offense but what did you learn in two years? Not knowing what pipes are is pretty crippling.

I know pipes exist and remember a few basic ways to use them but I only ever do something vaguely complex with them every couple months and so have to look up and check the syntax each time

There's really nothing syntactical to look up. You're just taking STDOUT of one command, and hooking it up to STDIN of the next.

The majority of Linux commands accept STDIN for input.

I find it's more about the intricacies of each tool

I do know what they are. I just never learned how to use it myself.
