Sometimes I really hate the utility names people come up with.

I would love to see chatgpt rename all the core utils in a way that summarizes their function.

The one that really annoys me is using "-r" and "-R" interchangeably for recursion. Why that has stood is beyond me.

Probably: "oh we already have a -r for xxx, let's do recursion with -R"

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.
