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.

From bash to zsh and everywhere in between, show me yours and I'll show you mines. Inspire others or get some feedback.

Simply copy & paste the output of alias in your terminal or add some comments to explain things for others.

Edit: Kbin users, click 'More' on a comment and use the fediverse link to read responses that have funky formatting

I've got aliases for every faltpak app I launch in the terminal for instance I've got code for vscodium or steam for well steam for example, I also alias some system commands so I have an update-grub, update, etc...

I also alias LSD to LS for obvious reasons.

When I switched to KDE I started using kate, but I used to have code as my vscodium alias as well. One interesting thing is seeing how similar people think. No wonder standard password guesses are so easy lol.

On a related note, I tried to make my SSH port based on the letters turned into numbers and realized that had been done before and was google-able also lol
