From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

To manage temporary files in Linux, a Bash script can move files untouched for 10 days to a timestamped subfolder, return modified files to the root, and delete files not modified for 90 days. Alternatively, a folder with symlinks to recently accessed files can be created using
mkdir,findwith-atime -7to locate recently accessed files, and awhileloop withln -sto symlink each file into the folder. Both approaches help organize files based on access time to avoid clutter and remove stale temporary files. The Bash script offers more automation while the symlink folder provides a manual way to access recent files.
