I'm not sure what you mean by "view." Devices exist as file nodes to facilitate block operations on them. The data on them is likely still in a binary, and thus non-readable, format. The device nodes are all located under /dev.
There are also character devices, which input in characters (maybe not human readable). If you want to view the device as it updates, use "tail -f".
In enterprise environments, Linux device management goes beyond basic hardware control—it involves centrally managing Linux endpoints to ensure security, compliance, and operational efficiency across a distributed workforce. This is especially crucial for organizations that deploy Linux systems for development, servers, or end-user computing. Solutions like Scalefusion MDM are purpose-built to simplify Linux device management at scale. With Scalefusion, IT administrators can: Remotely monitor system health and status of Linux endpoints Enforce security policies, such as login rules, firewall settings, and app restrictions Execute remote commands and scripts for maintenance or configuration updates Ensure compliance with internal IT standards or industry regulations Deploy and manage software without requiring manual intervention at each device By offering a centralized dashboard and automation capabilities, Scalefusion helps organizations manage their Linux infrastructure as efficiently as Windows or macOS environments—making it a powerful tool for enterprises embracing mixed-OS deployments.
Device files are useful for performing raw data operations. For instance, redirecting plaintext document to a printer (echo text.txt > lp0) instead of launching a dedicated program or interface for the task.
The device manager UDEV manages device nodes in /dev in Linux. It is a generic kernal device manager originally was introduced in Linux 2.5, and is still in the current version of Linux.
do your own research
Windows and Linux use device letters to identify each storage device on a computer.
There is plenty of software which allows Linux to work with NTFS file system. For windows there is not as much. But I think Acronis "Backup and Recovery" allows you to read Linux file systems under windows.
Get the files from cache folder of the disk cache device, cache directory. Save them to desktop and rename them with applicable file extension and use that files as if they are downloaded.
linux files dont need extensions
Linux and Unix and their variants have several different ways of locating files. each of the below commands can be used to locate files.findlocatewheriswhich
More or less.
Yes.
