On a side note:
I hate it that the password-change command is minimally abbreviated to “passwd”.
Come on, making it much more complicated to remember and saving just two freakin letters??
But the only command that I have to look up everydamntime, although it has no abbreviation at all, is useradd.
Oh no, wait, I mean adduser!
… No, wait again… aah…

🤷 that’s why we have ls, rm, mv and hell, even w.
To confuse things even more there’s a utility called pwgen and I can never remember which two letters to type before hitting autocomplete.
mv = move, thus:
That is so cool.
So
I could do this all day.
“umount” is worse

Next update changes it to usadder as a compromise. Supposedly, it’s short for “user adder” but we all know it’s to make “[you] sadder”.
