I purchased a book about programming and it has an additional free online chapter [1] about working in shell (bash). I enjoyed reading it and I hope you will enjoy it too.

I haven't tried out that book from NoStarch. There is a GNU press book available too, although it is more dated:
I am a translator!
Thank you both. I knew the GNU press book but not the other one.
The GNU press book has more information, but the free online chapter feels easier to read.
One thing I learned rather recently and now use constantly: Ctrl+r and start typing a command, to find back a command used earlier.
Ctrl+r can make you smarter and better looking:

So when you do "youtube-dl -x --audio-format opus https://[link to some video of a song or a podcast]" does it end up as mp4 or ...?
Ctr - r did work when I tried it so I (already too handsome to improve upon) will start getting smarter finally.

I just ran it on a song and got an .opus file, which should be recognized as an audio file by all the a/v software, like VLC, mpv, etc. I believe that .opus is one of the libre formats of the Ogg Vorbis project and has no history of patent encumberment, unlike some other formats such as mp3.

I think you are probably being much too modest.
I ran both documents through pdftk to reduce their size 4 times and made them linearized for better performance of pdf viewer programs. Documents are attached to this message.
