What is n command in Linux?
There is no "-n" command by default in linux, though it can be an option to other commands. For example, in the make(1) command, it can be used to suppress the make program from actually doing the actions specified - it just prints out what it would have done.Answer[-n] may be what is called a "switch" typically passed to a Unix or Linux command. As mentioned above, it modifies the actions of another command. For example, in the sort(1) command, it instructs sort to sort numerically instead of alphabetically. The meaning of any given switch will typically vary from command to command so read each man page carefully before using a switch. [JMH]

How does Linux know what program to open files with?
The exact method the desktop environment uses (it is not a feature of the Linux kernel itself) that selects a program to open a file with varies slightly, but works something like this: 1. The file manager / explorer tries to identify what type of file it is. Unlike in Windows, this is not determined by the file extension, but by various identifying features in the file, such as "magic numbers", or commonly used strings, and syntax used in specific types of plaintext documents. 2. The file is matched by its type to a program. 3. The file manager launches the program with the path to the file as an input parameter, much like entering "programname filename" on the command line.
What is the last file found in Linux?
There is no "last file" to Linux, as 1.) there is no specification as to what files need to be present in a Linux system, other than the kernel, 2.) you would have to define whether "last" meant the last file placed on the disk, or the last file in alphabetical order, and 3.) the system may use an initial ram disk, which has additional files in a compressed form, and will create device nodes upon boot.
