1. Kali Linux🏆
I hand over the award to Kali Linux for the best Linux distro I've had an amazing experience with. I love Kali Linux because it's specifically geared towards what I love, that is Penetration Testing.
2. Manjaro
Manjaro is a user-friendly and open-source Arch-based Linux OS. It is very easy to install, unlike Arch Linux which you have to do a lot of work to get it up and running. Manjaro takes all of the hassles out of installing Arch.
3. Garuda Linux
Garuda is based on Arch Linux Operating System. Unlike Arch Linux, Garuda Linux comes with a graphical installer for easy installation. I'm putting Garuda on my top 5 list because it has a Black Arch Edition used for penetration testing.
4. Endeavour OS
Another Arch-based distro that is easier to install, user-friendly, and has nice looking Desktop Environment. Endeavor makes Arch easier to use which is a plus for at least noobs like me who are willing to try out Arch.
5. Zorin
Zorin OS is based on Ubuntu and is an alternative to Windows and macOS which is ideal for beginners. I love Zorin because of its beautiful ice GTK theme and a wobbly-window feature called jelly mode!

The Linux🐧 commands you should NEVER use.
⚠️Disclaimer: Don't RUN these commands.
A thread🧵👇
1. Recursive Deletion🔁🗑️
This is one of the most dangerous commands. Once this command is run, it deletes all the content of the root directory forcefully and recursively. Thus, all your directories and sub-directories will be deleted and the data will be lost.
2. Fork Bomb🍴💣
My personal best😄, this is a simple bash recursive function which once executed creates copies of itself which in turn creates another set of copies of itself. This consumes the CPU time and memory. Thus, it runs recursively until the system freezes.
47. gzip
The gzip command is used to reduce the file size. It is a compressing tool. It replaces the original file by the compressed file having '.gz' extension.
By default the gzip will delete the original files after compressing them. If you don't want the files to get deleted you use the -d option.
