  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 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.

    2018? i was 2017. that was the year i went to a coding bootcamp, so they had us all on macs. I know y'all despise mac users with a passion, but we learned how to use the bash terminal. I didn't know cd was a bash exclusive thing until recently. Most of the time I use zsh, and I'd always type cd when actually you can just type the path of the directory and hit enter

    cd is not bash exclusive, it's the standard POSIX way to change directories. Zsh is the outlier here, being more use friendly than most shells.

    i got used to bash back in 2017 when i went to a bootcamp. but i'm a mac user so i mostly do zsh. you're not gonna believe how long i went until i discovered that you can cd into a directory just by typing the directory

    it was a week ago

    I’d rather a Mac than a Windows box. At least you get a proper shell (zsh or bash - zsh is the default now I think), python installed by default, can install package managers (macports, brew), can get coreutils, etc and most FOSS software from the Linux world runs since macs are UNIX at heart.

    I’m pretty sure cd isn’t even coreutils but implemented by shells as a wrapper for chdir/fchdir which is part of the kernel. Which has always bugged me since you can’t reliably pipe or redirect to cd since shells do things differently; it doesn’t handle stdin or the last component of a command runs in a subshell so doesn’t affect your current shell, blah blah.

    i fucking love wrappers, i wanna be the best wrapper alive. my schizo theory is that we're in a simulation and the entire english language is just wrappers for insanely nested ruby function calls
