SIG-Linux Topic: Some Essential and Useful Linux Commands
Presented by Sharan Kalwani
In the SEMCO world, we all know that Linux is a popular open-source operating system that is based on the open-source Linux kernel. We also know that it is widely used in 99% of cloud environments to support heavy-duty production workloads and run crucial enterprise applications. However, it appears that a now old notion STILL persists that Linux is meant for power users and enterprise environments. And that admin tasks are done with the command line interface (CLI) by running commands on a terminal console.
Today in general, modern Linux distributions provide a desktop environment and Graphical User Interface (GUI) that makes it easy to use the system. We have reviewed many popular desktop Linux distributions (distros) such as Ubuntu, Debian, Zorin, Elementary Linux, etc. Regardless of the numerous distros, IMHO a popular way is still to use the CLI.
So, knowing several Linux commands will help run one manage a Linux system. We will list many of the common ones.
