These 4 “hidden” Linux commands are ridiculously useful once you learn them
I’ve seen a lot of die-hard Linux fans insisting that you can get almost everything done these days without ever touching the terminal. And even in 2025, I still disagree. The terminal isn’t some relic of the past; it’s one of the biggest strengths of using Linux in the first place.
In fact, I’d argue every power user should know at least the basics. A little shell knowledge and a few useful bash shortcuts can make you noticeably faster in your day-to-day tasks. And on top of that, there are a handful of underrated commands that almost nobody talks about, despite how ridiculously useful they are.
