My best advice is:

You should never blindly copy and paste commands form the Internet into your terminal.

But...

If your hardware is old and proprietary (designed for Windows), you might someday need to copy and paste a command from the Internet into your terminal.

Joking aside, the key is to try to understand what it does, first.

And feel free to ask the community for help if you need it.

Edit: Nevermind. Your choice of immutable distro makes it less likely you'll need this advice. Nice.
