Introduction:
Linux is one of the most powerful and widely-used operating systems in the world, found everywhere from mobile devices to high-powered servers. Known for its stability, security, and open-source nature, Linux is an essential skill for anyone interested in IT, programming, or system administration.
In this blog , we are going to see What is linux and Why choose linux.

1) What is linux
Linux is an open-source operating system that was first introduced by Linus Torvalds in 1991. Built on a Unix-based foundation, Linux is community-driven, meaning anyone can view, modify, and contribute to its code. This collaborative approach has led to the creation of various Linux distributions, or "distros," each tailored to different types of users and use cases. Some of the most popular Linux distributions are:

• Ubuntu: Known for its user-friendly interface, great for beginners.
• Fedora: A cutting-edge distro with the latest software versions, popular with developers.
• CentOS: Stable and widely used in enterprise environments. Each distribution may look and function slightly differently, but they all share the same core Linux features.

2) Why choose linux
Linux is favored for many reasons, including its:

1. Stability: Linux is well-known for running smoothly without crashing, even in demanding environments.
2. Security: Its open-source nature allows the community to detect and fix vulnerabilities quickly, making it highly secure.
3. Customizability: Users have complete control to modify and customize their system.
4. Performance: Linux is efficient, allowing it to run on a wide range of devices, from servers to small IoT devices.

Conclusion
Learning Linux basics is the first step to becoming proficient in an operating system that powers much of the digital world. We can see more about some basics and interesting things about linux in further upcoming blogs which I will be posting.

Follow for more and happy learning :)

when we open terminal or Konsole in Linux we used to think by using many utilities why calculators was not there interactively in it ?

Now here is the solution for it just by cloning a repository from GitHub on your PC. Here is the GitHub link to clone it.

Just open your terminal and make a directory for safety purpose for that type,

mkdir calculator;cd calculator

the above command explain about making and changing directory from home directory.

then type,

git clone https://github.com/vishnumur777/simplecalculatorbash

this command will clone all the files present in the repository.

but please make sure that you have installed git on your PC.

Then change directory to simplecalculatorbash using

cd simplecalculatorbash/

then type,

chmod +x calci.sh

this command changes the permission to run on user without depending on root . So that many PC cause this error that permission was denied while executing the file.

For execution run type,

./calci.sh

and press enter key

which will run very colourful calculator interactive prompt by installing dependencies which I posted on GitHub.

Today Learned below commands.

List Commands

ls -> it listed out all the files
ls -l -> it gave long listing items
ls -lh -> it returns items with human readable file size
ls -lS -> it sorted out the files
ls -lSh -> it sorted the files also it returns file with human readable format
ls -R -> returned all the files in the directory

cat test1.text | less -> show the file in page fize
q -> to quit

ECHO Commands

echo “Hello world” -> it usually prints the data.

History Commands

history -> it displays the last 1000 commands executed in our machine. we can increase the limit
history 10 -> executes last 10 commands
history | head -> shows first 10 commands
history | tail -> last 10 commands
history !1000(event) -> executed the specified event command.

Remove command

rm -i test1.text -> it asks user permission whether to delete this or not
rm test1.text -> removes the files
rm * text -> removes all the files which are text file type.

Manual command

man ls -> shows all the information about ls command
man date -> displayes all the info about date command
