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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Heheh on Linux when you think you found the answer you copy paste, log out and back in. Sometimes reboot if it don’t with try the next copy and paste.. so many memories

    I've spent some much time in a terminal the last week I'm starting to Ctrl+x anytime I want to save anything lol. Even illustrator files at work lol.

    Does Linux still have three different and incompatible paste buffers?

    [–] TheOneWithTheHair@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

    Just be careful with those two letter shell commands like rm and dd. But if you don't, you will become proficient in reinstalling Linux.

    [–] qjkxbmwvz@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

    The real question is which buffer are you using? Team middle-click ftw.

    It’s funny cuz it’s true

    You'll learn when you do more of those

    Honestly this is good enough for most people. Some may say you risk fucking up the os/computer but windows guides carry the same risk.

    I'm sad because this is true.

    Also, man -k is a lost, dark art.

    You mean, to curl http://shadywebsite.com/bootstrap.sh | sudo bash, right?

    [–] Boiglenoight@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    This makes me laugh so much. After years of using Linux, it’s still true for me to an extent.

    I'm a Linux system admin, I literally do this for a living, and I usually feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.

    You copypaste till everything is in the terminal history, then you just scroll through it like a pro
