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.

If you use them for your use only, or want them "cleanly" organized, consider prefixing it with something personal to you (or a generic one such as
my_). For example, I'd prefix them withl_:my_rename_photos.sh,my_lightson.sh, etc.If there's a lot of them, write a wrapper script which would call the individual scripts from a common location (
/usr/share/my-scripts/). Then, you can only make sure your wrapper script is aliased/moved in the PATH. Example:my rename,my lightson, etc.
