To get the most out of your Linux environment, we recommend mastering these cross-distribution essentials.
Depending on your distribution, use these commands to keep your system updated:
Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
RHEL/CentOS/Fedora: sudo dnf update
Arch/Manjaro: sudo pacman -Syu
top or htop: Real-time view of CPU and RAM usage.
df -h: Check disk space in human-readable format.
journalctl -xe: View system logs to diagnose recent service failures.
ip a: Display all network interfaces and IP addresses.
ss -tuln: List all listening ports and active connections.
"Permission Denied": Always check file ownership with ls -l. Use sudo chown user:group filename to fix ownership or chmod 644 for standard file permissions.
Service Won't Start: If a service like Nginx or Docker fails, run sudo systemctl status [service] to see the exact error line.
High Load/Slow Performance: Use iotop to see if a specific process is saturating your disk I/O, or free -m to check for "Swap" usage which indicates a memory leak.
Harden SSH Immediately: Disable root login and switch to SSH Key-based authentication instead of passwords. 🛡️
Automate Security Patches: On Ubuntu, enable unattended-upgrades; on RHEL-based systems, use dnf-automatic.
Implement a Firewall: Never leave a server "naked." Use UFW (Simple) or Firewalld (Advanced) to block all ports except those strictly necessary (e.g., 22, 80, 443).
Backup Strategy: Always follow the 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies of data, 2 different media, 1 offsite (Cloud/Remote).
