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!


    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    I’ve been learning Linux (Ubuntu) with an old Laptop a friend was going to throw away.

    I like it, but I’m not ready to switch. My biggest complaint… why the hell is it so hard to access an external drive??

    I eventually got it, but now I can’t for the life of me remember the command line I used to set access for the first one to set up another one.

    You can just use a graphical file manager in Linux like you might have been used to in Windows. When I open mine I see my windows partition and my USB drive listed on the left side.

    I know Mint has one that I use all the time, but I’m not familiar with what’s in Ubuntu out of the box.

    Nothing as far as I know. What’s the one for Mint called?

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    That's "Nemo".

    The one that's used by Ubuntu by default is called "GNOME Files" or "Nautilus", in case you want to do some research on it.

    I did do some research and I’m now using Nemo! :D

    I went to bed after I figured that out though, not sure if it helps my drive situation yet.
