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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • Β 

    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 remove France.

    @live_long_prosper @EliteCow

    Yeah, this is the case if you're a heavy terminal user. However, for a lot of people this is no longer necessary.

    For a lot of people where just stock #gnome or #kde is good enough, and you use the software store app to install applications, you rarely have to touch the terminal and as such don't have to know the commands.

    That being said, as a heavy #neovim and #emacs user, the power provided by actually knowing the commands is something that I could not do without.

    I live in the terminal all day every day. And I still copy paste. It's generally way easier and less typo prone than typing everything

    @Falmarri

    I do a lot of copying and pasting as well, but what works very well as well is hitting control+r. When I found that out it sped up my workflow by quite a bit.

    @zbecker @Falmarri Isn’t that for a referee search in your shell? Or is that only for zsh?

    What are you referring to that makes ctrl+r so powerful?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    @notnorm @Falmarri basically it enabled you to search your command history
