@ChrisHarringtonMinneapolis There's also a remote desktop plug-in for Chrome which functions a bit like Teamviewer. Many people have Chrome and if you need to give someone a hand remotely it might be a solution. I wouldn't necessarily rely on it if security is a top priority however. In that case I'd rather SSH and then use a non-cloud protocol like VNC or RDP.

If I'm just after the local IP address on a linux box I use the -br (brief) flag to the ip command; e.g. : $ ip -br a You get output one line per network connection and if you have many, you can just pipe to 'grep UP' to find the ones which are presently functional. Also, I liked your "Super key icon" on the Windows panel. :)

@VeronicaExplains You don't need to give me a shout out. I actually just read the 'man' page a couple of months ago and thought what a dufus I was for not reading it sooner. :) I keep popping this little tip into as many Linux YT comment chains as I can when it's appropriate because it seems that it's not widely known and it makes it so much easier for people, especially when they don't know what all the other stuff is that's thrown up by the unadorned command. I look forward to whatever topics you're going to cover in future as you seem to have a slightly different take on teaching about tech which I find refreshing.
