Being plain text, it’s much easier to read on a wide screen, or on something without line wrapping.

This is really good. Clear and well laid out.

The only thing that might confuse some beginners is your specific choice of package manager.

I added more information to the installing software section, updated section title to specify Arch Linux, and added another section for Debian and Derivatives.

I made this just as much for me as I did for others. Writing things down myself really helps me memorize them.

Nice work.

My tiny nitpick is that “touch” will create the file you specify if it doesn’t exist. I’ve seen this usage a lot, so your example may benefit from mentioning it.

TIL „touch“ has other uses than creating a file

Thanks for all the feedback! I’m much happier with it now, and I’ll probably continue to make small changes over time.

I find the references to file extension kinda confusing. Extensions mean a lot less in Linux cli, but I can tell youre just using them for examples. Maybe give more concrete examples instead.

ls *.sh to list all the files ending in .sh

I updated various examples, and replaced <file extension> with <text> in most places and removed it from the legend.

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.
