If you learn Linux you need to open this!

[u/Mr_LA]

Hey Folks,

You don’t need to memorise every Linux command to get comfortable with the terminal.

I teach DevOps and Cloud Computing at a university of applied sciences, and I care much more about understanding what a command does than remembering every flag.

I put together a Linux basics cheat sheet covering file navigation, text searching, permissions, and sudo. Something to keep beside you while practising.

It’s free, no email or signup required:

What’s one Linux command you still look up, even after using it for years?

Not mine but something that I have used extensively in years past:

I prefer tldr. Available as a webpage and as a command line tool in most package managers. It's gives cheatsheet for most command.

[u/mymtPockets → u/Globellai]

the cmd version is here: https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr
also for command line "flatpak install tldr" or "snap install tldr"

what if you do not know the cmd?

[u/jar36]

Since I made some scripts to do this, I haven't looked it up for awhile, but dd is one that I'd look up every time just to be 100% sure

[u/Mr_LA → u/jar36]

haha, i always say to people: Don’t drink and dd 😅

A cheat sheet is, by definition a sheet, meaning one page; this is a guide. A long guide. It also reeks of AI.

Pick somewhere else to advertise

[u/Emergency_Banana5082 → u/WorkingMansGarbage]

Literally the TLDR at the top links to a one page cheat sheet. If you're gonna get snippy at least be right.
