2. Users
Even a default install will create many users - for processes and system use.

The following Linux command(s) see the users in the system.
less /etc/passwd

On 2019-08-09 the output was as follows.
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash ... omitted ... robin:x:1000:1000:(user name):/home/robin:/bin/bash

Press Ctrl-Z to exit the less command.
