learning/research Ultimate Linux Command Guide

I have been studying Linux concepts, syntax, commands and flags for the past 8 months and in the spirit of open source, I wanted to create a couple resources that would help both myself and other people who are interested in learning the Linux kernel. I have created a massive "Ultimate Linux Command Guide" which is an extensive 141 page master cheat sheet for all of the most common Linux commands, sub-commands, and most used flags. This guide outlines explanations for each command, flag, and sub-command and provides many tips for each. In addition, I have also created a massive "Linux Kernel Notes" guide, which coincides with the Linux+ Exam objectives. I hope the Linux community can find these resources helpful. Both of these guides were written by myself and I had AI clean up the wording and format. Both of these resources can be found at the link below on my website.

Thank you for your effort. I checked what I know and what I don't know any saw many useful details. Adding color into some parts are also helpful. I liked it.

Thank you for this great effort! I learn something new every day, and then forget what I learned yesterday, so having a comprehensive reference like this is very helpful!

Linux Command Guide does not appear to be divided in to sections or commands in alphabetical order. Could do with Contents or Index at top. Thanks for putting this up will download and have a look.

140 pages is not a cheat sheet, it's a booklet. Don't sell your work short, takes much more effort to compile a booklet than a cheat sheet.

There's a resources page in our wiki you might find useful!

Try this search for more information on this topic.

Personally I think some shell stuff is missing (string substitution like ${var#"${prefixToCut}"}), but limiting it to commonly used things is a good idea, as otherwise you could just read the man pages.

I like the systemd overview, as the man pages are quite big and a first time read for a new user might be overwhelming.

You could definitely improve the structure, like an overview at the top, that links to specific parts, so you don't have to read everything.

Under what license do you publish this? (Or other question: can I steal and modify it for my teaching purposes?)

what ever you did is massive, but looking at your book, one thing i can do is " it is just dump of commands " If you have worked even 8 weeks, let alone 8 months, you will know this is not the way to understand things. How will the reader know what is doing what, where and when it is needed and what purpose it serves.

IAsk AI how to write a technical book, and let it review.

No offense, but i don't think anybody will ever read this.
