When you log into a Linux shell, you inherit a specific working environment. An environment, in the context of a shell, means that there are certain variables already set for you, which ensures your commands work as intended. For instance, the PATH environment variable defines where your shell looks for commands. Without it, nearly everything you try to do in Bash would fail with a command not found error.
