Today, we'll discuss the Advanced Version of Commands, which facilitates current Linux usage. Understanding these commands is crucial to our productive work.
Let's begin with our initial sophisticated version.
Yum, dnf
The updated yum command, which aids with package management, is called dnf. It was first released in 2013, ten years after Yum (2003).
It is built on Python 3 and is faster than Yum, which is built on Python 2 and will expire in 2020.
The majority of the most recent Fedora-based operating systems, including CentOS Stream 10 and RHEL 10, are compatible with DNF.
Yum isn't being actively developed anymore. The Fedora and Red Hat teams are actively maintaining dnf.
Yum does not support simultaneous downloads, however dnf does.
Vim -> vi
The enhanced version of vi (Visual Interface) is called vim. Vi IMproved, or vim, is an enhanced version of vi.
It was first made available in 1991 with a number of new capabilities, including syntax highlighting.
Visual Mode, search highlighting, multiple windows, tab support, autocompletion, mouse support, GUI support, and many more vim features are not accessible on vi.
htop <- top
CentOS does not come with the advanced version of the top command, htop, by default. It must be installed from epel-release.
Htop has a mouse-supporting, vibrant, and interactive design. Using the arrow keys and F9, we can quickly terminate the processes.
It is a contemporary form of commands as we can choose more than one procedure at once.
apt <- apt-get
In Ubuntu and other Debian-based systems, apt functions as an updated version of apt-get.
While apt was first released in 2014 as an advanced version of commands, apt-get was first released in 1998.
By integrating the capabilities of apt-get and apt-cache, apt offers a more straightforward, cohesive, and user-friendly interface.
Additionally, it displays a progress bar and colour output.
