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.

Depends on what you're doing. There's workarounds for parted that allow you to do things like grow the size of a partition, but by default, you cannot shrink a partition via command line because the design philosophy of parted is that it should by default try to not delete any data. So growing via command line seems fine, but otherwise not so much.
Here on stackoverflow, there's some directions on how to use the
---pretend-input-ttyflag to use parted in a script.https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52509644/how-do-i-get-over-parted-confirmation-request-in-a-script
Why there isn't something like --no-confirmation flag?
