I’m a Windows user of all life. But I love Linux. And these last two years after so many time I started learning it in deep . But one thing is bugging me is that I am those persons that has bad times remembering names, words… imagine commands… Even after using it so much I remember some basics but I’m struggling a lot and I have to go back to notes constantly to do some basic operations. Even worst after trying multiple distro from from different upstreams that commands are … Different. What would be your recommendations to help me. Are there tools to help this issue ? My guess is that A LOT of people happens the same. And it’s one of the reasons Linux has such a slow adption . Because is excellent and full of capabilities.

    Not a boring story at all, in fact it’s Awesome! It’s been so long since I touched VMS I would probably be lost now, but I wrote tons of apps and was a sysadmin for a couple years - which I really enjoyed, as 90% of that job was running backups and installing updates, leaving plenty of time to just play around. I missed writing apps, so I made a visual status monitor that let me look at running processes and pause, restart or kill them. My last exposure to VMS was when I worked at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in 2007 or 8 - a group there still had a VaxCluster running, but I never worked on it. Today there is still OpenVMS, mostly run on emulators by retro computing hobbyists I think.
