This will be a short but important post. It is almost impossible to know every command, shortcut, and trick in any operating system and Linux is no different. I recommend keeping a reference book handy on your desk.
The first book I go to is:
The Linux Pocket Guide by Daniel J. Barrett.
Essential Commands
Published by O'Reilly.
ISBN: 978-0-596-00628-0
It is written to cover Fedora Linux, but the information is valuable for all distros. You should be able to find it online or at your local book store.
Also,
Learn to use "man" pages in Linux.
At the command prompt, type: man ls <enter>
You will see a manual for the ls (list) command.
This works with most commands in linux.
Read some each day and enjoy being part of the world-wide open source community.
