Today's lesson is going to be a simple one due to the past lesson and the up coming lesson. I am running Mint 20.1 11: do you miss set up files? .DEB files are pretty much the same thing if just download it and run it and the program will install itself. 12: sudo fstrim /. this is for people that run solid state drives (SSD) (not that it matters but I believe fstrim stands for fstab trim) it is good a good idea to do this weekly. I normally run this at least daily (just as the sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade) 13: sudo apt autoremove this is to remove old kernals and other things that are now obsolete. If while updating you see that items need to be removed this command will remove them. 14: cat this will come in handy in later lessons (no more secrets program is coming eventually I am going to put it off as long as possible though) cat opens text files in terminal so if you go to say cd python (enter) then cat README.rst (again everything in terminal is case sensitive) you can read the file. 15: nano Nano is a way to edit documents in terminal. so again cd python (enter) nano README.rst (enter) now do you see the bottom ways to save exit and all of those other things for example ^X to exit? ^ means control so ^X means control+shift+x and so on. Note: Yes I know today's lesson is rudimentary but this is a beginner's corse, next time we will be going over festival the text to speech app and how to make it so that you can highlight anything and have it read the text out loud. I will do my best to keep every lesson to 5 tips every 2-3 days till I run out. If these posts are helping please let me know.
