Command line to return to the GUI after Ctrl-Alt-F1?

August 10, 2022 by Magenaut

I’m unable to return to the GUI with Ctrl-Alt-F7 (or any of the 12 function keys). I have some unsaved work and I don’t want to lose them. Are there any other key combinations that will allow me to switch back?

August 10, 2022 by Magenaut

Please suggest me any particular unnecessary file that I can clean to back everything to normal condition(temporarily). (i.e. any log or archieve or anything ).

Does Linux perform “opportunistic swapping”, or is it a myth?

August 10, 2022 by Magenaut

Suppose a program asks for some memory, but there is not enough free memory left. There are several different ways Linux could respond. One response is to select some other used memory, which has not been accessed recently, and move this inactive memory to swap.

How do I jump to the next or previous word with CTRL + arrow keys in a console?

August 10, 2022 by Magenaut

In terminal emulation applications, pressing CTRL + Left / Right arrows jumps from one word to the previous or next one. Is it possible to have the same functionality in a Linux console, whether it is in text or in framebuffer modes?
