If you’ve ever tried setting up Ollama, Stable Diffusion, or PyTorch on an AMD graphics card, you probably remember how painful the process used to be.
Installing ROCm often meant adding third-party repositories, dealing with driver compatibility issues, and spending hours troubleshooting errors before anything actually worked.

đź’ˇQuick Linux Tips #18
Your disk is almost full, but you have no idea what's consuming the space.
Here's a quick way to find the biggest files and folders:
du -ah /var | sort -rh | head -20
This shows the 20 largest files and directories inside /var.
Instead of manually checking every folder, Linux sorts everything from largest to smallest so you can spot storage hogs immediately.
The -a option includes both files and directories, while sort -rh sorts sizes in human-readable format.

Most Linux users know how to check free disk space with df -h.
Very few know how to quickly identify the exact files and directories consuming that space during real production incidents.
If you want to understand where storage goes instead of guessing why a server is running out of disk space:

Most sysadmins have a folder of Bash scripts they didn't write and are afraid to touch.
In Chapter 12 of our #ClaudeCode for #Linux#Sysadmins course, you'll write a real backup script from scratch, have Claude review it for edge case bugs, and refactor an inherited log cleanup script with 10 real issues hiding in 12 lines.

đź’ˇ Quick Linux Tip #17
Need to see live system performance without installing anything?
Use:
$ top
This shows real-time CPU usage, memory usage, and running processes.
Useful shortcuts while top is running:
Press P to sort processes by CPU usage
Press M to sort processes by memory usage
Press q to quit
If you want a cleaner and more interactive view, try:
$ htop
This provides a more user-friendly way to monitor CPU, memory, load averages, and running processes in real time.

Most Linux users know how to check if a server is up.
Very few know how to identify CPU bottlenecks, memory pressure, runaway processes, or load spikes in real time during production incidents.

Most sysadmins enable SSH agent forwarding without knowing what they are actually exposing.
In Chapter 36 of our SSH course, you will learn exactly how agent forwarding works under the hood, what the agent hijacking attack looks like, when to use agent forwarding versus ProxyJump, and how to configure your SSH client so forwarding is disabled by default and only active where you actually trust the server.

Most Linux users know containers are "lighter than virtual machines", but aren't quite sure why.
In Chapter 21 of our #LFCA Certification Course, you'll learn what makes containers different, including Linux namespaces, cgroups, kernel sharing, container images, and how #Docker runs applications in isolated environments.

Most sysadmins create user accounts when someone joins and forget them when someone leaves.
In Chapter 11 of our #Claude Code for #Linux#Sysadmins course, you will learn how to audit stale accounts, spot overly broad sudoers grants, and remove #SSH keys that belong to people or devices that no longer need access.

Quick Linux Tip #16
Struggling to find where a command is actually installed?
Here’s a quick trick:
which python3
This shows the full path of the executable currently being used.
If you want even more detail (like all available locations), use:
whereis python3
This is helpful when multiple versions of the same tool are installed, and you want to know which one is being used.
You can also check the currently active Python version with:
python3 --version

Most Linux users know how to run commands.
Very few understand how Linux resolves command paths, searches for executables in $PATH, and handles multiple installed versions of the same tool.
