#UNIX was so successful, in fact, that it was difficult for any subsequently developed operating systems (such as #Linux, Windows, BSD, Android, iOS and others) to not be influenced by it.

Oh, you want to be a developer, huh? Well, forget those sleek MacBook Airs! Everyone knows the only path to coding glory lies with a trusty, older ThinkPad running #Linux, or a shiny new MacBook Pro. It's practically a rite of passage, a sacred ritual! Would I lie to you? 🫣 🤓🤣

Linux wipes Windows in seconds 😆

Every Linux user is talking about how good their Linux flavor is and how everyone should try their choice. Right? So by now, we must have thousands of flavors out there. Have you even tasted 2% of all the available flavors? How do they taste? Asking for friend 🤓 #linux #opensource

Want to easily find and work on specific processes in top or htop? 🔎 Let's say you need to check on your nginx processes or keep an eye on firefox. Try:

htop -p "$(pgrep -d, nginx)"

top -p "$(pgrep -i -d, firefox)"

This trick uses pgrep to grab the process IDs and feeds them directly to top or htop. See https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-find-process-name/ and https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/show-all-running-processes-in-linux/ for more info and examples.

Is there any end to this madness?

top
mtop
htop
ntop
vtop
atop
btop
ftop
itop
wtop

Probably not. This is why the CLI rocks on #Linux and #Unix based system. You are free to choose. This is how freedom tastes.

Scumbag crontab. At least on two times I messed up https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-add-jobs-to-cron-under-linux-or-unix-oses/

Here is how you list all physically installed network cards in #Linux connected to the PCI bus:

sudo hwinfo --short --netcard
sudo lshw -C network -short
sudo inxi -N
sudo lspci | grep -Ei 'eth|network|ethernet|wireless|wifi'

See https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-list-network-interfaces-names-command/ for more info and examples.

Want to print your #Linux and #Unix manual pages? Try

Save the PostScript version to a file:
man -t {command} {command|.ps
man -t date date.ps
file date.ps
xdg-open date.ps

You send the PostScript directly to default printer:
man -t {command} | lp

This will send date manual page to the printer named hp0:
man -t date | lpr -Php0

There are three ways to edit text on a #Linux or #Unix like systems: 🫣

0. The vim or vi way
1. The emacs way
2. The wrong way

Which one are you? 🤔

What is your favourite thing about #Linux?

I hope that 100 years from now, a day will come when everyone uses privacy-enabled Linux (or some sort of *BSD), and those users have no clue what the Windows hell from soul-sucking corporations like Microsoft looks like. A boy can dream, can't he?
