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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Idk why but I've always been a locate enjoyer myself. But find has more usecases.

    Like what?

    Find can find stuff based on permissions or other variables and interact with files, like delete etc

    Locate is just a database of filenames

    Grep. Couldn’t live without find exec grep.

    You rarely need find with grep if you man grep. Grep does it all.

    Grep is going to find all .java files in /home/user/workspace? And then conditionally search them? Not so sure about that.

    grep -R --include=\*.java "pattern" /home/user/workspace
