Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I'm the kind that never opens a file manager other than to move stuff from one directory to another

    File Manager is the best for bulk renaming too

    I mean if you knew the command XD a single for loop should work

    [–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Eh you rapidly need to know regular expressions to accomplish bulk renaming in the terminal, where some GUI tools like Bulky are a little more powerful for people without chronic eye fatigue.

    Yeah I have no idea how to do that too. But I would find it soo nice if Distros would ship bash scripts for all that.

    rename EXPRESSION EXPRESSION

    With some help on how to do it and actually helpful tldr. btw:

    cheat(){
curl cheat.sh/$1
}
