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.

netstat is mostly deprecated and superseded by the ss command.

I had an error with Xampp starting the Apache server by not having netstat installed

Wait? ss? why haven't I heard of this?

Maybe you also haven't heard about the ip command which replaces various commands such as ifconfig (replaced by ip a).

Oh, I'm familiar with ip command. I've just completely missed ss.
