The 11 Most Useful Linux Commands in the World Ever

"Almost every Linux website seems to have a list of the "best command line commands". Sometimes they get them wrong.

"Here is a list of useful commands that I came up with by looking at my 'history' file. I would not be happy to use a computer platform that didn't support them:

ls -tr

ssh
This command allows you to login to any computer and do stuff with it. It is essential for a happy and fulfilling life.

top
