I'm a Linux expert, and here are 6 commands I can't live without
I often profess that Linux can be used without the command line, but at some point, you might want to learn it anyway. When you do, consider these commands.
Even though I've been using Linux for decades and am perfectly at home with the command line, I often tell those who are thinking about trying the open-source operating system that it isn't necessary. Should that application consume all of your remaining CPU/RAM, your system could become unresponsive, which could lead to a hard reboot, or you having to take steps to prevent such an act. Sometimes, if I'm troubleshooting a network connection (especially a bottleneck), I'll leave the ping command running as I work to fix the issue.
