So in PART-1 of basic linux command we see command linux command. In this post, we will continue to learn some other basic commands of linux in this post.

Check out the PART-1 OF BASIC LINUX COMMAND FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS

WHAT IS LINUX ?

    Linux is a open source operating system that runs linux kernel there are lot of distribution of linux, linux is highly customizable os unlike windows for macos they are very restricted compare to the linux os,os linux can run on wide variety of hardware from smartwatch to supercomputer and they are well know for it stability and reliability 

to learn little bit more about linux click here

this article will show additional and useful basic linux commands

1.locate

    You can use this command to find a file, just like the windows search in Windows.in addition to that, using the -i argument along with this command will make it case-insensitive, so you can search for a file even if you don’t know its exact name.

To search for a file that having more than two words, use an asterisk *. For ex, locate -i scnotes* note command will search for any file that contains the word “scnote” and “scnote”, even if it is in uppercase or lowercase.

2.find

    It is similar to the locate command, using find it also  searches for files and directories. The difference between locate and find commands is that, you use the find command to find the files within a specific directory.

As an example, find /home/ -name scnotes.txt command will search for a file called scnotes.txt within the home directory and its subdirectories.

3.grep

This is another basic Linux command that is very helpful for everyday use .It lets you search through all the text in a given file.

For example if you type “grep pink colors.txt” it will search for the word pink in the colors file. Lines that contain the word will be shown fully.

4.df

    df command is used to get a report on the system’s disk space usage, shown in percentage and KBs. If you want to see the disk space usage report in megabytes, type df -m.

5.du

    If you want to check the size of a file or a directory, the du (Disk Usage) command is used for that purpose.However, the disk usage summary will show disk- block numbers instead of the usual size format. If you want it to show it in bytes, kilobytes, and megabytes, add the -h argument to the command.

6.tar

    The tar command is one of the most used commands to archive multiple files into a tarball file ,a common Linux file format that is like zip format in other operating systems, with compression being optional.

This command has a long list of functions such as adding new files into an existing tarball file, listing the total  content of an archive, extracting the content from a file, and many more.

7.chmod

    chmod is another Linux command, used to change the write,read and execute permissions of files and directories.

8.ping

    Ping command is used to check the connecting status of the server that is still alive and does it give response back or not

9.history

     History command is used to show the previously typed command in the terminal 

10.echo

    This command is used to copy some data into a file. For eg, if you want to add the text, “hello world” into a file called nameless.txt, you would type echo hello world >> nameless.txt

    Linux is a family of open source operating system running linux kernel you might not know about linux but the world is run by linux ,all the server are exclusively runs linux operating system because linux is known for its stability and relatability as well is it can run on wide range of hardware from watches to supercomputers

    Unlike windows and mac os linux is completely open source and it has a very large community of people that helps ordinary people to get using linux, and there are lot of distribution there is something for everyone in the linux 

    Unlike other os the linux doesn’t even need GUI(Graphical user interface) or mouse  to operate the entire system ,it can even operate by commands in the terminal many people are scared because of that but most linux distros come with GUI but still learning some command will improve your day to day workflow in linux

    So these are some of the command for beginners 

check out the a small introduction to linux here.

1.ls command

    ls  command is used to list all the file in the current directory you are in if you want the ls command to to show hidden files then use -a as an argument to show the all the file with hidden files in the current directory

1. INTRODUCTION

    In 1991, a young computer scientist named Linus Torvalds created a new operating system that would come to be known as Linux. This open source operating system has since enjoyed a surge in popularity, and is now used by millions of people around the world. In this article, we will take a closer look at the history of Linux, and explore how it has evolved over the years.

2. THE EARLY DAYS OF LINUX

    Linux was first created in 1991, when Linus Torvalds, a student at the University of Helsinki, decided to write his own operating system. Torvalds was inspired by MINIX, an operating system developed by Andrew Tanenbaum.

Torvalds began work on Linux in October of 1991, and released the first version of the operating system in December of that year. Linux was a departure from traditional operating systems, as it was based on the Linux kernel, a free and open source operating system kernel.

Linux has grown in popularity over the years, and is now used by millions of people around the world. In addition to its use as a desktop operating system, Linux is also used as a server operating system, and is popular in the world of cloud computing.

.The Linux kernel is a monolithic kernel. It is responsible for managing the system’s resources, and providing basic services to all other applications. The kernel is also responsible for security, and ensuring that the system’s resources are used efficiently.

The kernel is the first program that starts when the system boots. It is responsible for initializing the system’s hardware, and for loading the user-space programs and libraries that make up the system’s environment.

3. THE RISE OF LINUX

    Linux is a free and open-source operating system that was first developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991. Today, Linux is used by millions of people around the world and is the most popular operating system for web servers.

One of the reasons Linux is so popular is because it is very versatile. It can be used on a wide variety of devices, from servers and mainframes to desktop computers and mobile phones. Linux is also very user-friendly, especially for those who are familiar with using the command line.

Another reason Linux is so popular is because it is an open-source operating system. This means that anyone can view and modify the source code, making it easy to customize for specific needs. Linux is also highly reliable and secure, making it an ideal choice for mission-critical applications.

If you’re looking for an alternative to Windows or macOS, Linux is a great option. It’s free, user-friendly, and very versatile. Give it a try today!

4. THE CURRENT STATE OF LINUX

    Since the open nature of the linux lead to the wide adoption nearly all the servers in the world runs on the linux in other words the backend of the internet is running of the linux the enterprise adopted buy the mainstream users are not adopted by them yet since they are main attracted to the popular option but it is changing step by step more and more user are trying to use the linux operating system because they are tired of the big companies trying as they wisee os now they are drawn towards the open and privacy focused linux operating systems if you want to wet your feet on linux here is the link to the best linux distribution to try for beginners 

5. CONCLUSION

    In conclusion linux is still popular among enthusiasts as well as in the server and it will continue to improve as time goes on .
