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!

    Can you define a basic understanding of the terminal?

    Your basic and my basic could be wildly different.

    Know how to use it, understand the basic file system structure, know basic commands (ls, which, cat, mkdir, chmod)

    Having completed "Hacknet", the hit 2015 hacker simulator video game.

    (Only half joking)

    I played 2 hours of that game. I wondered how close it was to reality. Do those programs that you call in game have real life counterparts?

    Mostly yes, but they're in general oversimplified (for obvious reasons)

    But it's more about offensive cyber security than necessarily the Linux part. The Linux part is just file system navigation and not much more, the rest is the "hacking" part, and that's what I'm talking about

    Disclaimer: I did not complete it, but I got pretty far, and I worked in the cyber security area.

    I would however say it's not a good place if you want to learn as that's not really the game's focus. There are better resources out there like overthewire and linuxjourney for that
