Hi Tox!c illude,

The $~ is telling you that you're in your home directory and is asking you to enter commands.

Hmm... are you running Debian on a small microcomputer?  Did you install Debian yourself or was it pre-installed?

What are you looking to do and learn?  That would help us point you in the right direction.

As a general introduction to the shell, I like Software Carpentry's resource: https://swcarpentry.github.io/shell-novice/ - on that page there is a "Setup" section with a zip file to download to follow along.  You can run the lesson on other operating systems, and that knowledge you can apply to get around on the shell prompt you see in Debian.

Happy hacking,

Pariksheet
