Most new Linux users do not understand the difference between

- Terminal
- Command line
- Shell
- Prompt

Here's what you should know about it 👇

Terminal: It is a graphical application that runs a shell by default. There can be many terminal emulator applications like Terminator, Konsole etc.

Shell: It is difficult to "visualize" separately from the terminal. The terminal runs a shell, usually Bash shell. Like terminals, there are various shells as well, zsh, bash, fish etc.

Prompt: This is what you see before the space where you type the commands. There is no set standard for the prompt. In some old terminals, you would just have a blinking cursor to the place where you can type the commands. In modern terminals, prompt gives you some information like username, hostname and current working directory.

Command line: It is not something specific to Linux. Every operating system has a command line interface. Many programming languages have command line interfaces. It’s a term for the interface where you can run and execute commands.

Typically, you type the commands in a terminal after the prompt and the commands are interpreted by the shell.

less command is use for reading the contents of a file... that's not a secret.

But do you know that it can also be used for looking at the content of a directory?

Quick Linux Tip 💡

While viewing a file with less, you can get a small status by pressing the = key.

Quick Linux tip💡

You can see the bad login attempts to your Linux serve with:

$ lastb

The command just reads data from /var/log/btmp and displays it in a pretty format.
