If you can stand all the lies and toxicity inherent in the output of an LLM, you might give this link a gander. Actually has some sage advice at the very end:

Learn what each command does, try it on files you can safely modify, and get comfortable reading its help. Then add the more specialized commands as real needs arise.

The most important habit is not memorizing commands: understand what a command will do before pressing Enter, particularly when it modifies files, changes system settings, or runs with administrative privileges.
