Ever want to eject a flash drive but you can't because the device claims that it's "busy"? In today's Lil' Linux Lesson, we dive into the fuser command! The fuser command is one of those Linux utilities that you don't realize you need, but once you learn it, you'll find you're using it all of the time. This video isn't sponsored by anyone other than you. To help me keep it that way, please support if you can.

    In that case, why not simply

    rm -rf /

    😜

      Too simple.

      For complexity, add a “sudo” :-)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
