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!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Was trying to extract a totally legit copy of Skate 3 I downloaded today to play on my Steam Deck

    I hitched my horse to just what I consider the basics--zip and unzip--and that has made it easy for me. But I've been stuck on those.

    Extract anything:

    tar xf <archive_file>

    Create a tbz2 archive:

    tar cjf <archive_file.tbz2> <stuff to put in it>

    (And tossing in a -v is pretty universal, if that's your thing.)

    Some day, instead of commenting on a ~~reddit~~ Lemmy post, I think I'll Google how to tell it to use .xz.

    Ok, you know what? Today is finally that day. It's just capital -J instead of lower-case -j! That's easy enough to remember, I guess.

    Stay by the phone always. We may need you to defuse a bomb someday.

    Never thought I'd learn how to use tar on a meme post.

    Memes are one of the best source for Linux info 👍.
