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.
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
sudoin 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.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. 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.

for $variable in $(collection command); doother-command $variable;doneHm TIL, fair enough. Thanks.
But chaining still seems harder than
CommandA | ForEach-Object { DoSomethingWith $_ } | CommandBIf you feel like learning a third shell, I find that Nushell is even easier to use than PowerShell.
open stuff.json | each { get fieldName } | where { str starts-with "asdf" } | each { $in | str upcase }This gets all the objects in the given json file, then grabs the value of the field named "fieldName", then filters all those values to find the ones that start with and, converts those to uppercase, and prints them to the screen as a nicely formatted list
You don't need the
$in |in that last command.each { str upcase }will already pipe each item to thestr upcasecommand.Yeah, it does tend to be hard to determine when to use
(){}[]etc.Even after I RTFM and used those in scripts multiple times, I tend to forget it by the time I need to implement something next.
