In Windows, if I am on the command prompt (cmd), if I write the command
explorer .
It will open Windows Explorer with the current directory. Is there anything similar I can do with Linux?
xdg-open . opens with the default file explorer.
More information is here.
xdg-open uses data from
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
(in most cases) to find the correct application.
The MIME type for a directory is inode/directory from here.
On Ubuntu:
nautilus . # For the current folder
nautilus /home/ # Opens the home folder
If you do not have it, just install this by
apt-get install nautilus
Then use the above command to explore the directory.
It depends what file manager you have, but yes, you can.
For instance, type xfe, or dolphin, or gentoo, etc.
Type the name of the binary of the tool you want to open.

I would like to be a user with root access, when developing in Visual Studio Code on my local machine.
I read many posts about this but they all depend on using something with su or sudo. Unfortunately, in my case both return "bash: su(do): command not found".
How can I enable root access for myself?
MSYS/MinGW is essentially just a collection of linux utilities compiled as windows executables. It is not actually linux, so linux concepts, like the root user, do not apply. Similarly, tools that only work on linux, like nvm, also will not work in MSYS. If you want something that is actually linux, check out the Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL.

I have one abc.exe executable file in windows. I am able to execute this application using DOS command promt and give some run-time variable to it.
I want to do same in linux system from terminal.
How can I do this??
Windows EXE files usually can't run on Linux. You might be successful with wine which emulates MS Windows, though:
wine abc.exe
What do you mean by a runtime variable? A command line argument, or environment variable?
chorobas answer is correct, Linux cannot directly run .exe files however with third part software like wine, or running a windows vm to execute your file.

I'm editing files on a shared machine. How do I configure vim for me, while allowing other users their configuration (which may be 'unconfigured')?
(edit, should have noted this initially:) Unfortunately we all have to use the same login ID so config file in home directory isn't a solution for me. Is there an environment variable I could set manually after login to tell vim where to load "my" config?
Your configurations are in your ~/.vimrc in your home folder. Your settings are therefore unique to your username. You should have no problem with others on the machine.
EDIT: Since you can't use a home folder (why again?), you can launch vim with a custom configuration script with the following:
vim -u custom.vimrc
If you have a .bash_profile or something similar, you can alias this to your own custom vim.
alias vime='vim -u custom.vimrc'

I want to reset Fedora so it appears as it was reinstalled, but without the cd.
I have many issues with it so I want to start with a blank page ! :D
Is it posible to do this in fedora, without reinstalling it from cd ?
I dont want to save any files !!!
Only Possible if you have fedora running in Virtual Machine and have snapshot backup. Or you have full system backup.
It depends.
When you were using your Fedora distribution, were you using it as a regular (non-root) user? Or were you using it as the root user?
Non-root users are normally only allowed to modify files within their home directory. That means if you were using your Fedora as a non-root user, any changes you've made are confined to your home directory. You can simply delete that directory and recreate it, and the end result will be as if it's a new Fedora installation.

Is it possible to create a project based on a remote directory (on an ftp server) in VIM, using the Project plugin?
It's not true that vim doesn't have internal capabilities to open remote files. The first poster was correct, netrw is built into later versions of vim and it's awesome. I use it all the time to edit pages on website via ftp and sometimes over ssh.
Try:
:e ftp://user#machine/path
I seem to remember creating a .netrc file so that I didn't have to type in my user/pass all the time.
man ftp (and search for .netrc assuming you're using vim on unix and not windows)
Check out the netrw plugin. However, in general I've found development easier when files are local and I have a good revision control system (like git) to move files to and from the server.
