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.

Shouldn't your LLM be solving this problem.for you? 😂
Seriously though, if not two terms, then just background one or both of these commands.
I didn't ask AI about this one yet. It could likely give me most of the answers here to various degrees. My best models are similar in scope to stack exchange combined with the randomness of whatever happens to pop up first in DDG results. It isn't good at explaining the various ways a task can be done in practice. Like it likely 'knows' all the various ways, and will generate each of them if prompted slightly differently from scratch each time. But, if you try and have a longer dialog context where it has previously generated a solution, it will likely struggle to accurately describe other methods. LLMs are also pretty good with bash, but they suck at sh or busybox's ash. There is just not enough training data present in these niches with the general models.
However, I asked here primarily in an attempt to increase my posts contributions to Lemmy in hopes of keeping people engaged and around long term. Who doesn't like helping random people with things in this format. I could easily find the answer to this on my own. Asking something on the back of my mind that I have been putting off was just engagement and trying to improve my fundamental scripting skills. Sorry if that somehow offends.
