WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
When You ever thought of automating tasks, be it under MacOS or Windows, both provide relatively high-level tools of doing this (looking at You, Automator, and You, Power Automate). But MacOS and Windows also carry more low-level tooling, such as the MacOS Terminal or the Microsoft Powershell. Every modern Linux distrobution comes with, I'd guess, at least three to five different "shells", e.g, Ash, Bash, Zsh etc. A shell is a text console interpreting specific commands and executing task, ranging from basic echo 'Hello World!' to more complex for FILE in /dev/sd*; do mount $FILE /mnt/device_${FILE#/dev/sd}; done. To really gain all the unholy powers over Your Linux operating system, try to acustom Yourself to shell scripting, and a good resource to do so is the Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide. (Fun fact: The MacOS Terminal is a POSIX-compliant shell, not sure exactly which one since the default recently changed, and can be used for quite the same tasks as Linux shells.)
