Fuck you.
Some helpful (generally) distro-agnostic terminal commands (CTRL+SHIFT+T to bring up terminal in many linux distros)
ps aux -- shorthand for viewing running processes
netstat -tnulp -- show processes listening on ports
sudo su - -- drop into elevated terminal (root shell)
chmod +x <path-to-file> -- make file executable (eg. you an run via ./<path-to-file>)
chown <user>:<group> -R directory/path/ -- set recursively set ownership of directory and all sub-files and dirs to user/group
find . -name "some-name.txt" -- search for files/dirs with given name (supports wildcarding, eg. find-me.*)
grep -rnwi . -e "<regex-pattern>" -- recursively search all files and sub-folders for files which contain the following string within file contents
ln -s <from-path> <to-path> -- create symbolic link
Good hunting.
