Not the person above, but I know that written explanations of command line tools are always preferred by myself.

No, no, you just need to seek through the time and copy & paste the text in the video!

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 months ago

Why didn't I think of that? This is a game changer!

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.
