It depends on what filesystems your distro has available and can support.

The basic mkfs will make you a EXT-based filesystem.

However, mkdosfs (linked to mkfs.vfat) will make FAT filesystems.

For those systems with NTFS support, mkfs.ntfs is also available.

Is Linux shell a CUI?

Strictly speaking, a "shell" is simply the interface between the user and the rest of the operating system. In that definition not all shells on Linux are command lines. However, most day-to-day usage of the term "shell" does refer to command line user interfaces. Finally, "Linux shell" is not a thing. Linux is an operating system, specifically a kernel, not a shell. Most Linux distributions use BASH, but I personally prefer ZSH.

What happens when you enter a Linux command in capital letters?

You get a command not found. Linux is case sensitive. So, for example: The command "systemctl" will not be the same as "SystemCTL" to a shell in Linux. One will work, the other will return an error saying there's no such command.


How do you find the shell?

To find the shell on a computer, you can open a terminal or command prompt application. In Windows, you can use Command Prompt or PowerShell, while in Unix-based systems (such as Linux or macOS), you can use the Terminal application. These applications provide a command-line interface to interact with the operating system.


What command starts the command line in Linux?

That would be a semi-contradiction; the command line would need to be already running in order to enter a command. The name of the program that actually provides the command line is called a shell. There are many different shells available for Linux, including Bash, ash, C Shell, fish, ksh, zsh, and scsh.The default command shell is /bin/sh (not /bin/bash, note).

What is diffrance between Linux and unix?

Shell is a program which allows the user to access the computer system. Shell is an interface between the user and computer system. Kernel is the only way through which the programs (all programs including shell) can access the hardware. Its a layer between the appliation programs and hardware. It is the core of most of the operating systems and manages everything including the communication between the hardware and software. KERNEL is the core part of operating system. It contain modules like device modules and other modules etc. Kernel is written in C language. Basically kernel is mediator between hardware and Operating System. But SHELL is an interface between users and operating system. Both are mediator but work is totally different. Let we have an example of "eject" command in Linux operating system: User give a command to Shell through input device like keyboard and see that command on video Device like monitor, but in actual concept is user give a command to shell, then this shell transfer that command to kernel.when kernel have module of that command then it transfer to hardware like CDROM. After that hardware behave as the module in kernel and then kernel again transfer the output to Shell. And finally shell transfer that output to user. Hardware <---> Kernel <---> Shell <---> User
