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!

    There almost always powerful existing utilities that can do what you want in linux.

    But you have to find them and they have a learning curve. Sometimes that "curve" is a cliff.

    Tbh though, as a person going through this learning right now, the single most essential thing I did was youtube "basic bash tutorial" and watch a few videos/follow along with them. Gave me the first foothold to start climbing the cliff, made it much less foreboding.

    Now I'm struggling with for loops, but that is not exactly basic and I'm blaming that on my ADHD, I haven't tried to learn in months, I'll get around to it!
