“You can’t run X based applications from commandline”
But you show each and every X app being started with a terminal command.

@Zach,
You can’t run X based applications from commandline, you just have Desktop Environment such Gnome, Cinnamon, Mate, etc installed on the system..

Can you please tell me why I get “can’t open display ” in response to any of the X-window commands entered in command line in my debian computer. What is the solution?

Your tutorials are very good, but I am still a beginner.

Best wishes, Zach

In reply to Pasquale.

Dear Pasquale, all of these commands should be available on most of the Linux Distro, using standard repo.

You can find the package using apt-cache search (Debian Based), yum search (Fedora Based). You may contact the relevant community or ping us, if needed.

Dear Thorin,
It is the beauty of Linux that an useless program for one user is so much useful for another. Keep Connected!
