So, you want to be a Slacker!? - Part three: The Slacker hanging on the branch

Posted 09-01-2021 at 07:29 PM by carriunix

As a final post about the "Slacker way" as I see it, let me write about branches and updates. One of the most frustrating things that happens with computer users is update the OS and break something in the system. "If I knew that will happen, I would have kept my old system", is the only thing we could think after that, obviously. It happens with all OS (Windows, MacOS and Linux), and more often, in those with short development cycles. That is, of course, instability. If an OS...

Linux newbies and given commands --ADVICE

Posted 08-31-2021 at 07:21 AM by zeebra

So, you're new to GNU/Linux and you have been asked by someone to try to solve something by typing a command. First of all, WELCOME, second, should you just do it?

No! Although most people on Linuxquestions are nice and just trying to help, for your own sake you should not just do it. Command lines with options and arguments are way more powerful than GUI tools, and it's very easy to not understand what you are doing. There are two main reasons you should always CHECK the command...

Intel is about the best friend "we" have

Posted 08-23-2021 at 03:18 AM by zeebra

...and by "we", I mean the nix community and in particular the GNU/Linux community.
...and by "friend", I'm talking about for profit corporations related to software/hardware.

Ofourse, there are also GNU/Linux based companies, like Redhat, Canonical, SUSE, System76, Tuxedo etc etc, who are even better friends. But looking at other companies it seems that Intel is our best friend.

Just an example could be a Linux problem area like graphics....

How to use CODE Tags for Code and Command Output

Posted 08-23-2021 at 12:54 AM by ondoho

Let's say you have this output:

$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 789M 2.7M 787M 1% /run
/dev/sda8 9.8G 6.9G 2.5G 74% /

You will notice that the formatting is messed up, it looked much nicer in your terminal!

Instead, you should surround the text with code tags:

$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used...
