How to Make a DIR in Linux
Linux distributions, like the Unix framework that they are built on, encourage usage of the command line in Terminal. Linux is the preference for many computer programmers because of the control granted through the command line.

If you use the Terminal, the process is universal throughout all Linux distributions, whereas creating a directory in the GUI may differ for each.
