Personally mine was just getting around buffers; creating new ones, splitting windows, deleting the ones I don’t need and so on. In the beginning I used to have just a single file open at a time like nano

You don't usually split buffers, maybe windows?

isn't it Frames in Emacs context?

not that i use or need it often, but terminology is (obviously) not that easy

Frame (what the window manager calls Window)>Window>Buffer. These are probably concepts that come from a text based terminal age.
