TechHQ ☛ What are the most deadly Linux commands?
Linux, an open source, advanced operating system, is hugely popular worldwide among developers and general users. One of the reasons for its popularity is the ease with which users can run commands. Not only are running commands on the Linux terminal simple, they are also fast, typically providing a better experience when compared to using the Linux GUI (Graphical User Interface).
