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 think that a lot of people are missing this, my first Windows was Windows XP, so I'm pretty much used to doing everything through a GUI

    Same, but I learned (rather quickly mind you) enough of the CLI to get by, and continue learning to this day. I looked up a few "Bash basics" and "linux terminal basics" videos on youtube and followed along like it was a class which really helped. And whenever I have to figure out how to solve an issue I have (for instance my airpods didn't want to connect through the GUI at first) and it gives me a CLI fix (bluetoothctl in this case) I try to remember it, or I can always go "ah fuck what was that command again.." and search it again, or I put some of those in a textfile called linuxcommands.txt that I can reference back to, or I can try bluetoothctl -h for help, or man bluetoothctl for the manual for bluetoothctl (and that works with most CLI programs.) Honestly sometimes I prefer the CLI now.

    Now I need to learn all of the symbols and hotkeys and for loops and cool shit like that, but I'll get there.
