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.

Where to "practice Linux" terminal commands (lemdro.id)

I've been using Linux for about 7 months now and have become a lot more comfortable using the terminal but I feel like there is more that I can learn.

Most of my work is done in a browser or DaVinci Resolve. I do try to use the terminal where possible but it's limited due to my workflow.

Are there any interactive sites where I can practice/learn the terminal? I'm going through Linux Survival at the moment.

EDIT: I forgot to add some important details.

I don't have a massive need for the terminal for my current workflow but I think it is important to know (looks good for any future job applications as well) and expand your knowledge on things that interest you when possible.

In the future, I hope to have a home lab/NAS running Linux. I will most likely SSH into that and I'd like to deal with any issues via the terminal.

I use Arch btw (technically EndeavourOS)

Cost: $10

One year of a small vps. Fiddle around with it, get it secure, run some services on it, flatten and reinstall through the web kvm when you fuck up.

Look at your logs and be terrified at how many computers are just out there poking and prodding at random ips on the internet.

Say “I’m in” and push play on squarepusher when you log in.

Pardon me for asking, but this looks very strange. 10$ a year, when most VPS hosts I see are 5$ish a month, and the website is default WordPress stuff with literally nothing in their knowledge base, and two blog posts. Also your link is to https://cloudserver.net Where as when I lookup the name, https://www.cloudserver.net/. A totally different looking website. What is this?

It’s the link from lowendbox.com’s list of cheap vpses. I’ve used a few of em including cloudserver and they’re fine. Cloudserver actually did the most kyc stuff out of any on that list.

Idk why the link is different or any of the stuff you’re talking about. It’s old, November of last year, but it still seems to work.
