I'm Veronica! I love Linux, old computer hardware, and explaining things. Some folks call me the Linux Mom, and that works for me. I'm a former "legacy systems" sysadmin who's posting fun content about cool things you can do with Linux, as well as some fun retro tech stuff I come across!

Ever want to eject a flash drive but you can't because the device claims that it's "busy"?

In today's Lil' Linux Lesson, we dive into the fuser command! The fuser command is one of those Linux utilities that you don't realize you need, but once you learn it, you'll find you're using it all of the time.
