In the next article we are going to take a look at some Gnu / Linux online terminals. It doesn't matter if you want to practice commands for Gnu / Linux or just analyze or test your shell scripts online. You will always find some Gnu / Linux online terminals available to do so.
This is perhaps particularly useful when you are using the Windows operating system or are just starting out in the Gnu / Linux world. Although you can always install a Linux distribution inside Windows using the Windows Subsystem for Linux, using online terminals is usually more convenient for a quick test.
