#2"Then drag and drop the entrance directory from this folder into your terminal"
Kind of a funny way to start out a "text" adventure :)

#3It is genius. But also since the "action on objects" is based on executing files, should not be the first command a `chroot` - just to put the learner in the right mindset?

#4Anyone know the depth of information presented? Is there a list of commands that are covered?
Is this fun?

It's for those not yet accustomed to typing shell commands.

#6It's one thing that so many people who really should know better call anything Unix-y Linux.
Now we're completely going the whole way and calling macOS Linux, too?
It's pedantic, I know, but when I see this, I can't help but imagine the person who chose to use the phrase "Linux commands" doesn't really know what they're doing.

I played around with it for 5-10 mins and found it pretty fun.
I think this is a great idea.
That being said, I think it's a bit too advanced for someone with no CLI experience whatsoever.
It would be great if this could be combined with a codecademy type thing so you can have clear instructions on the left and a terminal on the right.

Second line of the README.
You're not the target for this.
If you just installed your first Linux distribution, don't know anything about the command line, you're not going to click on something called "Learn POSIX shell...".

To be fair, the README does make it more general:
