ZDNet ☛ I'm a Linux expert, and here are 6 commands I can't live without
Even though I've been using Linux for decades and am perfectly at home with the command line, I often tell those who are thinking about trying the open-source operating system that it isn't necessary.
It's not. Truly.
If I wanted to, I could give up the command line altogether. Of course, I'd have to find GUI apps to replace some of the commands I use, but it can be done.

XDA ☛ This is how I create and manage VMs on Linux distros
If you've ever worked on coding projects, DevOps tasks, or even computing experiments, you've probably used virtual machines. From experimenting with wacky ideas to tinkering with different operating systems, there are plenty of reasons to use virtual machines. Sure, they tend to require more resources than containers, but their superior isolation provisions make them ideal for demanding tasks.
On Windows, you'd probably use something along the lines of VirtualBox or VMware Workstation Pro when you're a beginner, before moving on to Hyper-V for hardcore projects. The Linux landscape has just as many options for running virtual machines. But after tinkering with different hypervisors on Linux laptops, PCs, and mini-PCs, I've eventually switched to KVM as my preferred hypervisor. While it may seem somewhat cumbersome to use upon first glance, it works exceedingly well once I pair it with the easy-to-use Virt-Manager.
