Linux Commands
What are Linux commands? Linux commands are instructions given to a Linux operating system through a command-line interface (CLI) or terminal. They are used to perform various tasks, such as managing files and directories, configuring system settings, executing programs, and interacting with the system. Linux commands typically consist of a command name followed by options or arguments that specify how the command should behave or what it should operate on.
What is Linux?
What is Linux? Linux is like a really sturdy and versatile toolbox for your computer. It’s free to use and has been built and improved upon by lots of people over the years. One cool thing about Linux is how you can talk to it directly using text commands. These commands are like giving your computer simple instructions, such as copying files, installing software, or even just navigating through folders. Instead of clicking around with a mouse, you type in what you want to do, and Linux gets it done. It’s kind of like speaking a secret language to your computer, but once you get the hang of it, you can do a lot of powerful stuff!
