Great video👍 Which Linux Shell? Seams like there is no Uniform Command list that works across any of them like Elvis, Fish, Vi that I was living & it got upgrade👀 Nano... I only know a little Bash. I'd like to get to a point I could do anything I need to in a Linux Shell. I'm trying out Garuda & needed to format a USB to Flash Bios & it wouldn't give me root access or let me use the one tool I know fdisk? I was pissed, when I looked at the Garuda Forum someone was exposing root access would be dissasterius. If I trash my install then I better learn to fix it. Linux is not windows dummy down Americans dirty or stolen code! So why is it so hard to create Bios Flash USB sticks in Linux?
No, that won't happen. The "software fashionistas" that treat Linux like a fashion accessory to show their peers how "l33t" they are will be able to use Rust tools until Iron Oxide itself streams from their tear ducts, whilst the more "traditional" Linux users like myself who actually know how to use Linux properly will simply continue to use those tools that make us the "power users" that we are. That's because Linux is about "choice" - you can choose how you want to use it, I can choose how I want to use it. Neither of us need to be concerned about how the other one "does their thing" on Linux. There, I fixed it for you. You're welcome, you can thank me later.

I actually watched it at 2x speed but I already knew like half of the commands. I learned some good stuff because I'm often too lazy to read manpages for terminal commands.
No one can learn the Linux Terminal 30min. I am so tired of people post videos like this. I watch a lot of your videos DistroTube, and i like learning things from you because you are so thorough and a good teacher. But this thing about learning a concept in 10min, 30min or 2 in just hours is just not right and i usually dont watch videos that say this to people. Please stop doing that, and get real. Your videos are great, i love them, i just dont love the name you are giving some of you videos.
This is not for those of us nontech people, only tech types need to apply. I tried Linux, and Zorin OS, but when I ran into trouble I couldn't get any help.

Compare 2 Text files. Or scripts, edit & merge to discard duplicates?

`cat cities1 cities2 | sort | uniq > unique_cities` - sort is needed because uniq detects duplicates on adjacent lines only.
