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.

I am tired of creating a file with nano, saving it and then making it executable. Is there a command that makes it in one step?

You want the install command.

At least, I think this will do it. I haven’t used it in a while.

touch file && chmod +x file is good but this here is the one true command for the purpose.
