    The best part of working in a meat grinder startup were the Linux masters teaching you stuff like

    cat /dev/random > /dev/pty23
    

    or

    su _otheruser_
    chsh -s /bin/false

      What is /dev/pty23? From context, I assume another users terminal so it just spams garbage to their screen?

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.
