Ubuntu/Linux Commands

Service

sudo service network-manager restart

Restart network manager (when wifi shuts off on idle)

Apt

sudo apt update

Update packages

sudo apt dist-upgrade

dist-upgrade is more complete than upgrade, because when dependencies change, those packages will be kept back with apt upgrade.

sudo apt autoremove

autoremove gets rid of those superfluous old linux kernels.

sudo apt clean

clean cleans out the package cache.

Terminal

tput reset

Clears terminal text
