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!

    Do people actually get mad over that? Why?

    I feel like the only people who actually care are the type who wrap their entire personality around which OS they use

    I use both terms. If I'm accessing it from a GUI, it's a folder. From the command line, it's a directory.

    So tell me, what do you call the object drawn in this picture, taken from a popular Linux operating system?

    A picture of a folder icon from Ubuntu

    Say my name.

    I call them yaru-icons. Just for all my Linux buddies without ubuntu.

    I had a new employee ask me what I meant when I used the word directory. They had never heard 'directory' used in that context. It has only been known as a folder to some people.

    Alternatively you fully commit to it and alias cf to cd

    [–] red@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

    First you need mkfol, otherwise you can't cf anywhere
