Ubuntu is my Cupid

“Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful.”

Yes, Ubuntu is simple, But it is ROBUST.

It is the distribution of Linux distros. Ubuntu is an open-source free Operating System and it has a massive community.

The impact made by Ubuntu:

Using windows made me a bit lacy by using the GUI and the same process every day. But Ubuntu is really awesome and the way command-line works is something different for a normal windows user. The major reason for using ubuntu is

• Stability and Reliability
• Productivity and Creativity
• Security

Ubuntu means Terminal

shortcut to open -> Ctrl + Alt + t

while using the terminal first thing that comes to mind for the ubuntu user is “sudo” Sudo means “superuser do” it will give the user to run that command at the root level. So before the operating system proceeds with the command, it will ask for the password of your computer.

Common Commands In ubuntu:

• $ cd -> change directory to move another folder
• $ cd .. -> to move back to previous folder’
• $ pwd->print working directory prints the current folder
• $ apt(advanced package tool)->apt is a powerful command-line tool used to manage software(to install, update or upgrade software)
• $ nano- Open the text editor
• $ history ->to view history of commands
• $ cp-> Copy file.
• $ mv -> move file
• $ rm -> remove file
• $ mkdir -> make directory
• $ cat -> Concatenate files and print on the standard output
• $ grep-> Print lines of the input matching a specified pattern
• $ apt-get-> Update installer
