From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

or
firefox --helpYou're right I'm a noob I didn't realize that these also have man pages
that's completely fine :)
I think the biggest part of learning Linux is learning where to get help. Most programs have a help dialog with --help or -h, or man pages you can find somewhere. Even the terminal has a help dialog if you just type "help", most things are more user friendly than they seem!
If man pages are difficult to read, I recommend installing tealdeer (tldr). it shows a short summary of example command usages and it's great (e.g.
tldr lsshows the different ways you can usels)Thanks I have tealdear installed after I saw the mental outlaw's video about it after months back. It is great indeed
First mental outlaw reference I’ve seen in the wild, 🍻
All the possible options explained very well here thanks
