Your solution should be an update to this README.md file that will be
committed back to your repository created when you clicked the HW 1 link.
Think of the things you do routinely on a computer that require specific software packages. Find an open-source solution from the software repository for one of these activities and tell me about it in 100 words or less. For example, I used to do lots of audio recording when I was in high school (not that long ago) and used special (and pretty expensive) tools like Cakewalk Sonar. Since then, I've found an open-source package for doing multitrack recording called Ardour that doesn't have all the bells and whistles but, because I can program in C++ and the source code is available, I could, in theory, create any such whistles I need. Note: You may not describe anything already discussed in class (e.g., the LibreOffice suite or Octave).
Write your solution here. Note, in the past, we've used a full, graphical version of Linux. With WSL, you probably don't have as direct a path for exploring software in the Software Manager. However, use the power of Google (or AskJeeves) to explore what sorts of open-source software is out there for technical or other applications.
Figure out how to display information about your CPU via the
command line. This should include at least the processor
speed and the number of cores. Describe your command(s) below.
(Hint: redirection is helpful; remember, that's like
using ls > directory_contents.txt to dump the contents of a directory to a file.
To display CPU information, I used the following command:
ls -al # <--- that's not right, but it shows you how to include
# code in Markdown!Figure out how to list the programs that use the most amount of (1) processing and (2) memory. Describe your command(s) in your writeup.
Where is bash located on your Linux system? And what version of
bash are you using? Make sure to provide any commands you use to
determine this information.
