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.

Nowaday I have ChatGPT spew me command. I usually do a quick validation before running. Nevertheless, most of simple operations are correct so I don't need to.
I then note the command to my persional gist cheatsheet. Next time, since the command is "cached", I'll be able to be productive quicker.
So much better than googling.
I would also recommend -v for verbose and -z when compressing for gzip
What does --auto-compress do?
Damn, I'm using the "tape archiver" (this is what tar means) since I installed HPUX8 in the 90s, from tape, yes...
Check out atool
Do more like this (・へ・)
Don't you have to specify the compression algorithm when extracting? I always use tar -xzf for gzip files and if I remove -z it just fails.
great, now how do I use it together with the 'feather' command?
tar is just the worst shell command in existence. Why do people still bother with it?
You've never used find have you? Let's not even get started on the config file syntax for sendmail either.
