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!

    There’s gotta be a buncha tools that Clippy into the terminal to say “did you mean ____?” right? Including some new ones where they trained/fine-tuned a language model on man pages?

    Interesting it’s not the most popular thing to use a GUI and use shortcuts for everything you want to do while still having the option to click through a menu or wizard for whatever you haven’t memorized. I suppose the power and speed of the command line are difficult to match if you introduce anything else, and if you spend time using a user interface that’s time you can’t spend honing your command line skills.

    There's thefuck, but it hasn't given me good suggestions.

    tar xf things.tar.gz/bz2/etc Should be enough to extract. It can usually figure out the compression automatically.
