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.

Basic examples for the Linux date command (learnbyexample.github.io)

I rarely ever use the date command, but when I need it I almost always struggle to get the right incantation. So, wrote a blog post for easy reference.

Do you use a cheatsheet as well?

Right - I'm just saying that it's super annoying that people point out times that llms have been wrong as though humans are never wrong, or even aren't wrong frequently.

I get that. It's funny I think I've gotten advice in the past to always check the results of search engines because they can be wrong (as in teachers said it to me) or things about Wikipedia being unreliable. But nobody does those things nowadays. Perhaps someday LLMs will be good enough that we don't need to check them either.
