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.

Does anybody else have a library of saved commands/scripts? What's in it? How do you organize it? Is there anything you'd want to share that other people might find helpful?

I do. I keep it in VS Code and store complicated (for me) stuff that I can't remember or worry I might not.

Playlist download with yt-dlp with all my best settings, adding playlist index as track number.
Ffmpeg metadata cleaner for music. Searching title for a bunch of specific strings to remove, setting the band, album, etc. and saving these in a new folder.
Desktop file contents for when I need to create one for an appimage
The script I used to bind audio output switching to a hotkey
How to use ADB for when android blocks sideloading the normal way and I inevitably forget what Android Debug Bridge is or how to use it.

Linux Mint btw. Also yes, I am a noob.

This is what I ended up doing, and it works great. I knew about aliases, but didn't really use them at all - I didn't know about bash functions though.

So now I have a few functions in .bashrc for short things and am just aliasing shell scripts for easy access to more complex tbings I don't want cluttering the file
