The problem being that Linux has that big long learning curve and a *lot* of keen utilities to choose from...but you have to know they exist!

Open any terminal... start typing the alphabet starting with a (then
hit tab key twice) you will see all the (main) "utilities" available
to you starting with the letter a. then move on to b (double-tab) then
c and so on and so on and so on to z. google them or type man then
utility name to learn about them. like:
man inxi

I just stumbled upon "inxi" after reading some other thread about increasing the size of the swapfile under Mint.
Very informative utility.
I mention this for other relatively low-skilled linux guys as myself. Good to have in your repetoire.

Thank-you for this tip...I've spent many happy hours investigating programs this way.
Anyone know a way to capture the output of "TAB TAB 'Y'" to a file so *all* the programs the system is aware of is in one place to persue?

What would be an advantage of inxi over the diverse ls~ commands, like
lscpu, lsirq, lsusb ..?
or lshw (of all choices)?
Cheerio.
just do:
ls /bin /usr/bin/ /usr/local/bin/ > somefile.txt
And similarly for sbin.

It will only show those that are available in your $PATH variable.
Some distributions like Debian have different $PATH for root and other
users, so you might not see some tools.
Software that isn't installed is also not shown.

Don't forget my old-school fav:
/sbin/dmidecode
man 8 dmidecode

Ah.....(as realization slowly dawns on him). I had thought that all these executables were collected from a myriad of spots. (like /usr and /opt and and....)
I begin to perceive.. Thanks.

Run:
echo $PATH
They are collected from there.
