Asked By CuriousCoder92 On

I'm diving into Linux and trying to master it through the command line, but I'm a bit stuck. Specifically, I want to know how to figure out the real names of the apps or commands for the programs I have installed. For instance, if I want to access system settings, how do I find the exact command or name for that? And is there a way to see all the installed programs without just Googling everything?

When you say 'real name,' what do you mean? If you're looking for commands, you can usually find them in the man pages. That could help a lot!

Yeah, like for system configuration, I need to type 'systemconfig' to access it. For Firefox, it's just 'firefox.' Is there a quicker way to find these commands without Googling?
