All hail the arch Linux wiki!
Honestly this is good enough for most people. Some may say you risk fucking up the os/computer but windows guides carry the same risk.
the linux equivalent of earning your wings is attempting a simple fix and somehow fucking up so bad you have to start over from a fresh install
You don’t need to in Linux either. You can do most everything from a gui.
Depends on the distro. Some are more tailered to GUIs and some are more tailored to TUIs.
I actually take the time to type everything out, but I still have no idea what I’m doing.
You know, my students do this. It’s freaking hilarious when they inevitably have a typo and get an error. I chuckle every time. 😄
it is actually a good thing to do. helps in learning stuff faster. it’s good to hear that there’s still people who don’t mindlessly copy and paste
I realize my post sounds like I’m against students typing out commands, but I’m not. I’m against them mindlessly typing out commands they find on the internet without taking time to understand what the commands actually do. I encourage them to be intentional with their commands and really understand them.
Omg I tell people at least 3 times a day about bash’s tab completion. Cli proficiency should be taught before programming
It’s funny cuz it’s true
That was me today when I allowed Linux to remove what it claimed "can/should’ remove X packages… now my llmachine has no VMware tools, won’t scale, and is missing something called fuse?
