I’ve also got the Linux Basics for Hackers book but it’s at home while I’m on vacation.
I’m just really happy rn yall :) this install took some work, SecureBoot kept getting in the way and I’m not the most savvy person so there was a lot of Googling and trial and error in the way of getting here.
Quick tip: forgot how to use a command? Use
man commandnameto see a short manual page for that command.Forgot sudo on your command?
!!refers to the previously typed command, so you can simply typesudo !!to fix it.If you don’t know how to use man, just type in
man man.What I think about every time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_Man
(Six Demon Bag is an amazing album btw)
oh wow, thank you for
sudo !!this is amazing :D
I keep forgetting that one! Thanks! I always use up arrow and then waste time getting the cursor back with maybe the home key or ctrl+ left-arrow LOL
tldr or teeldeer is the short manual. fwiw
wtfgives the summary, and works for acronyms too.Also, don’t forget manuals have pages lol. I forget how many there are. 99% of the time you just need page 1.
