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.

Bloat and coersion from canonical when using Ubuntu.
Also I hate typing mount on my home machine and sifting through a sea of mountpoints.
Same. I end up either
grep -v -etmps and loop mounts ormount -tfor each type of physical mount. I suppose lsblk and findmnt might have better options and views.Lsblk suffers too.
oh? When I run
lsblkall of the docker overlay mounts are omitted. It does show loop devices, but otherwise it was the list of physical devices.Looking at the man page it looks like
dflets you exclude types too:df -h -x tmpfs -x overlay.When I run lsblk with no flags/parameters I get 18 lines of loop devices. Sure I could issue the command again and pipe thru grep to remove all the lines that have "snap" since I forgot to do it this time. I propose "snap" because couldn't I have non snap-related loop devices?
