Step Into The Deep Waters Of Linux Operating System To Learn Its Command Line And More So That You Stop Being An Outsider In The World Of Linux OS!

Of all operating systems, Linux is different; it is nothing like Windows and not anywhere close to Mac OS either.

It is the OS of hardcore computer users - users that understand computers more than just pointing and clicking icons!

Are you looking to elevate yourself from where you are to the world of Linux computing where you start understanding how to give computers commands using command line and other cool stuff that the ordinary Windows and Mac OS user does not have a clue about?

Or wish to slowly venture into the world of hacking and have heard that knowing how to use Linux will set you up for success?

The truth is; Linux is a vast OS. As such, trying to learn everything at once will be overwhelming; you have to break everything up into small bits so that you can swallow with ease.

And thats what this book does; to ensure you dont get overwhelmed by the vast amount of information on Linux out there.

It doesnt make any assumptions about your background or knowledge of Linux and takes a step by step, logical and systematic beginner friendly approach to all concepts, commands and jargonto ensure at the end, you can start using Linux as if you learned it years ago!

In it, you will learn:

How and why Linux is the computer geeks favorite OS
What you need to run Linux on your PC whether you us Windows or Mac
The language/jargon of Linux in simple language to ensure you know what everything in this book means and is applied
How to install and set up Linux for first time use

INTRODUCTION

So, what is Linux, actually?

For starters, Linux is a free and open-source Operating System, based on UNIX and PSOIX codes. In short, it is free to download, and free to use, and was originally based on the paradigm of Intel x86. In fact, out of all Operating Systems, Linux has the largest base that has been installed, compared to the rest.

This is why a computer or device that works on Linux works fast, and are sometimes even compared to those amazing supercomputers! This is because Linux gets to be tailored to any kind of system where its being used forcompared to other operating systems that work best on a certain kind of device alone.

This so happens because of the so-called open source software collaboration that can support various kinds of libraries and directories.

The next step is to learn more about creating and editing shell scripts and create automation scripts that will allow you to use Linux in a more efficient manner.

The Linux operating system (OS) is not something your average consumer realizes the extent to which it is the most utilized platform and is tailored to devices such as Android phones, Smart watches, refrigerators, washing machines, video game consoles and DVRs just to name a few.

Linux can be used to host a website, create a new and secure file or e-mail server, diagnose another system you own, and possibly recover crashed files. It can enhance Chromebooks. Even NASA, Dell, IBM, and Hewlett-Packard have tapped into the Linux OS.

It was first developed as a family extension of the various iterations of UNIX. It is free, open-source code and released October of 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Torvalds is a Finnish-American Engineer who believes that open source is the only way to go. Thankfully he thought so. At first, Linux was primarily for personal computers but as you can see it has a use that has expanded exponentially and now runs some of the largest super computers as well as the devices just named.

Since Linux release, other programmers have developed their own versions or distributions of Linux. These are also called distros . These next generation developers were able to do this because of the open sourcing of Linux. This is a good thing, but having many different versions has its challenges as you will see.

Necessary Software

Before you get started with programming, you will need either a text editor that is Linux-compatible or an integrated development environment. If you use a text editor, you will also need a compiler that will enable your code to be patched into the Linux framework. If you use an integrated development environment, this will usually be done automatically. There are plenty of text editors and integrated development environments that are available for free as open-source software.

As an alternative, you can begin by using the Linux shell. There are some programs and commands that can only be implemented with the shell, and you can also make some configurations and customizations to your own system with the shell. How you access it may vary based on the distribution that you use, but in many cases, you can access it be pressing Ctrl Alt T on the keyboard.

You will also want to have a sandbox, which is a necessary tool in any programmers arsenal. A sandbox allows a program to run using a limited amount of the computers environment. This way, if there is a problem with the program, such as a bug or unintended error, only the resources that are located within the sandbox will be affected. The rest of the computer will be unharmed. Sandboxes are very important when writing codes for a new program, as they enable programmers to test out new developments without running the risk of harming their computers. There are several different sandboxes available for Linux, most of which are free.

Programming Language

The programming language most commonly associated with Linux is C, a language that first appeared in 1972 at Bell Labs (then a part of AT&T). Once written, it is translated into a machine language with a compiler program. Unix, the forerunner of Linux, was one of the first programs to be written in C, and when Linus Torvalds first created the Linux kernel, it was written in C.

With this information in mind, you would be forgiven for believing that any programming in Linux must be written in C. Not so. Programming languages have evolved and developed due to increased needs, both in complexity and abstraction. Newer languages, such as Java, C++, and Python enable higher functionality and more complex programs, including the building of blockchains! If Linux was limited to running only code written in C, it would have become obsolete long ago.

Virtually any programming language can be used to write code in Linux, so whichever language you are most proficient in is what will be most suited to writing code in Linux. The exception may (but not necessarily is) be specialized languages, such as Solidity, which was developed specifically for programming on the Ethereum blockchain. What is necessary to get coding done in different languages to work on Linux is a compiler that will translate that language so that it is compatible with the Linux kernel. How to do this will be explained in the next chapter.
