How to open big text files on Ubuntu

Problem:
You want to read a big text file. But the editor is very slow loading it.

Solution:
Chop the big text file into smaller ones.

split -b 1024k <path/of/your/filename.txt>

The Terminal command above splits the file path/of/your/filename.text into 1024kb files.
