Match Classic Linux Commands with Their Modern Alternatives

Match the good old, classic Linux commands with their supposedly modern alternative CLI tools. See, how modern you are!

Classic Linux commands will always remain classic. We have several new CLI tools with more features and rewritten in modern languages like Rust that aim to replace them.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to match the classic commands with their modern (supposedly) replacements. Can you do it?
