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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.

    Anyone who is learning new stuff in this thread should really try fish, it makes using the command line so much nicer.

    Finally, a command line shell for the 90s

    Fish is such a nice shell.

    I wrote a collection of small apps for fish a few weeks ago. If anyone wants to check it out: https://github.com/matdombrock/angler.fish

    I started out with bash, then eventually realized that I was using zsh because I'm a macbro. I'm a little slow :(

    [–] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

    To be fair, they only switched to zsh in 2019, so a lot of tutorials probably still assume bash

    for a while, i was so clueless that i didn't even know i was using a zsh terminal. i thought i was in bash because i watched linux tutorials on youtube

    Just tried it, working is indeed nicer after some nice fresh tuna and Sushi.

    go with elvish, it's new, sleek, and it even has functions that return functions, which means my plan to weaponize the english language by turning every word in a lower case punctuation free sentence into a series of shell commands is almost complete, MUAHAHAHAHA

    EDIT: For legal reasons, this comment is just a shitpost, and I don't know how to code. I'm just a lazy vibe coder.
