Linux users might notice some commands are not on this sheet, such as sudo and man, so for a more thorough listing of commands, head to this list at Github. LinOxide's downloadable sheet is still a handy reference to have by your side when you're getting started with Linux.

I just wear my Linux Cheat Sheet T-shirt. It's upside-down so you can read it while you wear it. http://store-xkcd-com.myshopify.com/products/linux...

(Seriously I own this)

I use Ubuntu for very basic things and usually getting files of hosed Windows machines. I wish I knew more but even the help (like this one) are infuriating. I often read instructions that tell me to type some commands and don't bother telling me where. I guess I'm just supposed to know.

You type them in the Teriminal app that came with your Linux distribution. If you're just starting out, I recommend checking out our beginner's night school to Linux.
