Linux

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.

Termux yeah. I use it everyday. So here is a (long) list

  • Use ffmpeg to convert videos or even edit it(with current 6.x version, mediacoded hwaccel is availiable)

  • yt-dlp

  • Use vim and emacs, maybe code something

  • Integrate it with other plugin apps like Termux:API(lots of system apis), Termux:Boot, Termux:Float(floating terminal), Termux:Widget, even Termux:X11 For running gui apps

  • You can run gui apps with other X servers like XSDL

  • Compile and run programs that is not availiable for arm(Worst thing, but i still does it. Much hassle and error prone, but fine for smaller programs)

  • Use ssh to connect to other devices

  • Install x11-repo and thus install xfce and firefox desktop(for fun)

  • Install proot-distro and use distros like debian, arch, ubuntu, manjaro, void, fedora, etc. which is cli only by default but you can install any DE.(You can combine display server from XSDL)

  • Use git, clone a repo, make changes, use it or push commit, whatever you do with git

  • Use your normal standard linux commands to browse thru your filesystem and make changes

  • neofetch, cpufetch, rxfetch, htop, gotop, cmatrix and hollywood for lolz

  • tmux, byobu or gnu screen

  • Tar, gzip and all coreutils

  • cryptomining(DON'T do that)

  • Test your webpage locally (php -S localhost:port)

Ahem I wasted a lot of time making this list i think i have to go now lol

I actually am currently trying to ssh into my main pc and hopefully in the future into my server i started to setup today but i am struggling with the use of keys. Got any good tutorials you can recommend?

I found this from a search.

I don't usually use manual keys but uses password to connect to ssh servers. Like ssh -p port user@ip and it promts to trust it then you have to enter your password. I have barely set up ssh servers but have connected ssh servers many times
