Getting to grips with the terminal will allow you to install, configure packages and your Linux kernel to behave just the way that you want to.
I will not try to cover every single command here, but I will provide links to other sites that will cover, in detail many more aspects of terminal sessions.
Resist the temptation to download a 600 page ebook like I did as you will hardly be able to do anything until you have read most of it. Though it will provide a good reference when you cannot get online to find and answer.
Tutorials are often written by students and programmers as a way of remembering information and are excellent ways as they generally do it step by step with real-world examples.

And now for a book, I have resisted the dummies label for a while which is why I call usnmovices, but the book is good and free https://www.iiitd.edu.in/~amarjeet/Files/SM2012/Linux%20Dummies%209th.pdf
Remember, Google is your friend, simple typing 'rename file in Ubuntu/Linux' or whatever you need will generally get you the answer. Only commands that are not the same refer to installing software packages and kernel operations so remember you are using Debian for all versions of Ubuntu and type 'Install package in Debian'.
