I know starting in Linux could be confusing. I started 2 or 3 years ago, and still learning. I'm a neurosurgeon, so I don't have a tech background, but googleing you can learn a lot, every time I stuck up with a problem with command line, or technical issues, I post a question here and in few hours I have several answers. Command line is not easy, but sooner or later you'll feel comfortable using a console. About the jargon in this group, is the same in every forum or group, and is not going to change, so I recommend you better get familiar with that jargon and if you don't understand something, just ask, and maybe you, and me, and other people can learn something new.
