Linux from the command line -- Customizing your text colours in bash
The Linux terminal uses colour to help you identify and discriminate between different types of information. You can customize those colour hints to your liking. Here's how.

Linux tips & tricks| Linux from the command line -- writing bootable USB sticks from an ISO file in BASH
It can be very handy to have a quick and simple way to take an ISO file and spit it out to a bootable USB stick. Here's one method.
Side note:
My most common GUI tool to perform this task is SuSE Studio Image Writer which is of course available for the various SUSE versions, but it is available for other Linux distros as well. See https://software.opensuse.org/package/imagewriter
In fact there's even a Windows version floating around out there.

Learning Linux | Linux from the command line -- Watching commands with the watch command
Did you ever type the same command over and over again just to monitor some ongoing process? Well you can automate that with the watch command.
Here's one I've used when downloading to a nearly full drive.
watch 'df |grep -i /storage'
Or, suppose you have a file being downloaded or created in the background by another process and you want to see show it's coming along and how much has been transferred.
watch 'ls -la ~/Downloads/somefile.tar.gz'
