On a side note:
I hate it that the password-change command is minimally abbreviated to “passwd”.
Come on, making it much more complicated to remember and saving just two freakin letters??
Do you not tab-complete your commands? I mean, my terminal usage for anything beyond very short commands consists of <first few letters of command> <TAB>.
Sure I do (although nowadays Strg-r does most of the heavy lifting for me), but as a decent touch-typist I am often faster directly typing short commands, like passwor… damn, I mean: passwd ;-)
But the only command that I have to look up everydamntime, although it has no abbreviation at all, is useradd.
Oh no, wait, I mean adduser!
… No, wait again… aah…

If you haven’t, give fzf a try. Is like Ctrl+r in asteroids
“umount” is worse
First time I have to use it, the spelling really confused me. Wrote unmount and didn’t understand why it didn’t work.
I guess this also must be an additional layer of hellfire for dyslexics…

Ah, damn it! I’ll look it up next time. *sudo vim /etc/passwd*
Surely
visudo, I hopeNext update changes it to usadder as a compromise. Supposedly, it’s short for “user adder” but we all know it’s to make “[you] sadder”.
