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.

If you have any suggestions or criticisms, feel free to comment them.

Being plain text, it's much easier to read on a wide screen, or on something without line wrapping.

Interesting compilation, there is cheat.sh, tldr and others though

I made this just as much for me as I did for others. Writing things down myself really helps me memorize them.
