How to Linux? (self.programming)

So after reading a number of posts and comments on here about Linux, I've decided to give 'er a go. I have access to an Azure VM, but I have never done anything involving Unix before and have only a basic understanding of coding in general.

Where do I even start? The most daunting thing for me is command line script, as it seems I have to memorize close to 150 common commands and their functions. Is there a set of tools or free classes that would make it easier for me to understand, or should I just get stuck in there? I was planning on using Pop!_OS since I do a lot of gaming and it seems like the closest thing Ubuntu has for that purpose.

For the commandline most of the commands make sense and you absolutely don't have to sit and memorize them it will happen naturally.

I think for things like pop os and mint you don't really need the commandline and there will be plenty of guides on how to solve most problems that will tell you the commands you need
