Born in late ‘80, I’m borderline. A Xennial, I guess.
Just yesterday I was groping on Mastodon that so much of Linux is done via the command line, which messes me up because I’ve only ever really used OSs with a GUI. Sure, we had a family C64, but my brother would load the games for me. Then we got a ‘proper’ Windows PC, where I stayed until I got my first Mac in ‘07.
I’m not unfamiliar with doing stuff in Terminal, but all I really do is follow instructions I find online.
I mean that is usually all it takes, and as time passes you learn, provided you have the will to do exactly what you are doing and you have an interest in understanding it.
You must have big hands if you can grope a mastodon!
(In all seriousness youtube “command line basics” or “bash basics” and follow along with a video or two like it’s a class, helped me when I ditched windows.)

FYI late 80s is a Millenial. Xennial is like 79-80. Millenials go from 81-96
