Important Linux Distro Points to Note - What the "Other" Linux Commands Are Used For

As described earlier, there are the GNU Linux commands that are common to ALL Linux distributions - and there are also some Linux commands that are proprietary and only exist in a SINGLE Linux distro.

Proprietary (non-GNU) Linux Commands - Created by the Makers of a Linux distribution

Many, but not all, Linux distros have some proprietary (non-GNU) Linux commands that have been created by the makers of the Linux distro.

And there are a relatively few of these "proprietary" (non-GNU) Linux commands - if and when they exist in a Linux distro.

Linux Commands Training Tips: Most Linux distros - and all "major" (popular) Linux distros - have GUI "point-and-click" installation routines - and so using a Linux command (rather than a GUI utility) to install Linux on a system is usually

unnecessary.

However, some Linux distros have one or more (non-GNU) Linux commands that allow you to start the Linux installation, or do other Linux installation tasks, from the Linux command line.

For example, Ubuntu Linux allows you to run a "text-based" (non-GUI) installation so that you call install Ubuntu Linux on old hardware (and use command line settings that allow for the use of old hardware components) - or install Ubuntu Linux on new hardware (that isn't yet fully supported in the GUI version of the Ubuntu Linux installation routine).

Using a non-GUI (text-based) installation routine also allow you to install Linux on older systems that don't have the memory (and other hardware resources) required by a newer GUI installation routine. Linux GUI installation routines require a lot of memory and may require large amounts of other system resources, such as hard disk storage.
