I want to learn about Shell Scripting Basics, Shell Variables, Shell Script Arguments, If
Statement, Loop, Return, Basic UNIX commands. Where should I go to. Would be pleasant if y'all could give a run through basics of it. I had always used windows so very new to unix/linux and know zilch about them.

shell scripting is scripting not programming. the shell is kind of like a text based alternative to the file manager. you can cd instead of double clicking a folder. you can open a file in an app like notepad (or more commonly vi/nano in text based environments). a shell script is a file where line by line your shell runs those commands
first get a shell environment. there extreme options like dual boot/vm, or less extreme options like wsl/msys2 or go online for one
tell chatgpt to give a list of commands to learn and see what happens when you run them
if you dont know what options a command can take get used to (command --help) ing or (man command) ing

First wipe out your whole HDD / SSD.
Then install alpine linux 3.20
Remember to select encrypt disk option during install.
Enjoy.

I know these would be childish queries. But there are many terminologies getting mixed up in my mind. But pls bear and tell if python can be executed interactively in both cmd (terminal in case of mac/Linux) and shell (picrel). Both look similar, so what's the difference among the two. How is IDLE different from above two?

Use linux and whenever there is an issue you will learn something new ,
As for basic commands related to file navigation
Learn about pwd,cd,ls,mkdir,touch,mv, there might be more commands that I don't remember as of now.

yes you can. if you run ```python``` with no arguments you will end up in interactive python shell. they look similar because they are the same thing in different terminals. idle is a special terminal python org made that runs python as the interactive shell (similar to how windows terminal runs powershell as the interactive shell
the best way to understand these things is just using them
