Linux Sysadmin Basics 03 -- Text Editors (and review of basic commands)

newbie developer hear that's done some full stack personal portfolio projects, can vouch for vim

9 years ago) are they still up to date as to speak?

I am finishing a data science masters and didnt come from a comp Science background. And its ridiculous how computer illiterate I am lol. These videos are incredibly useful for my field. Im excited if u have some for computer architecture too?

Again thank you for the great videos. I’ve already given you my thoughts on how helpful they have been as I start my infosec journey and hopeful career switch in the next year but I want to comment to simply help support your content for the YT algorithm

I've used linux desktop for about 4 years now and I remember going through the pdf The linux Command line a bunch of times to solidify these basic commands. For some things though using the graphical file viewer is quicker.

works slightly different for centos. It doesn't copy, says it not a folder (cp somefolder...)

thanks

Text editors and review? More like "Terrific information for you." Thanks again for sharing!

vi is cryptic to move around in! use: nano

Hi Dave,

I'm having an issue when i started my machine today i found out that all the free space are being eaten, and the large files were lib files created in this directory
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

Please advise on how i can solve this.
Thank you

Hi! When you used the: mkdir -p coolfolder command, what is the -p flag used for?

$> ls —color -hal 9000

Lmao i remember my first time trying to quit vim. I still have nightmares about it

Ha, oh man. I totally gave up on Vim years ago just because it took me ten minutes to learn how to quit. It was embarrassing.

they did not have VScode

This is pure gold. How come some assholes disliked it?

escape + :wq to exit vi

there's actually an inbuilt tutor for vim.
$vimtutor

Nice Videos Dave, you have nice voice for such things and face made for TV, but one thing your video has a black square on it that is not static in its placement and sometimes lays over things. Thanks for this though I'm enjoying this alot. I currently have MX linux installed on this pc I use those hard drive switches and different hard drives for other operating systems, This pc is using 3 out of 4 switch positions and 1 is Windows10, 2 is MX linux xfce, and 3 is MX linux kde. So nice to be able to push one off and the other on before turning on the system and be in completely different world. Another pc has 1 as Windows10 and 2 as POP os which I like alot. 3 and 4 nothing, also a couple of Raspberry Pi's which run linux so now I have to get up to speed on these machines command line wise and you are helping greatly there and I Thank You. I'm waiting for Linux to do VR as well as Windows so I cans say bye to Microsoft. Thanks Dave I think I will order a couple of Sweatshirts.
