Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

mkcd() { mkdir -p “$1” && cd “$1”; }

Make a directory and immediately cd into it. I rarely make a directory and not cd into it.

I maybe steal your rust aliases What is bacon by the way?

[–] CsXGF8uzUAOh6fqV@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Bacon is just compiler output but it "stays open" in your terminal and refreshes after you save your file; It is nice if you use something a bit minimal like vim without language server but you don't want to compile manually every time.

alias fuck='sudo $(fc -ln -1)'

[–] xavier666@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] demonsword@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah, I could do that. Kinda prefer to use my alias anyway as the expletive is almost always the first word that comes to mind when I forget to sudo something

[–] xavier666@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't argue with that but it reminds me of thefuck which is similar but does more

[–] demonsword@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

thanks for that link!! I'm going to try it out :)
