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!

    What if I told you you can create and set a registry entry with a single line of powershell

    What if I told you I'd rather bash my skull in than use powershell.

    That's ok too. If you're not comfortable in the cli you can switch to a more gui focused windows distro. Most of the same functionality is there.

    I’ve moved to WinPE for its immutability.

    You can run a batch file too with your skull, although I do not recommend.

    You can install gentoo with a single line of bash

    What if I told you you can make a backup of a config file and edit a single line in a conf file, all with a single line of bash?

    sudo cp config.conf config.conf.bak.$(date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S") && sed -i 's/^\(CONFIG_NAME\s*=\s*\).*/\1new_value/' config.conf

    Imagine not having all your system settings in plain text files 😬
