Anyone ever notice how these “linux isn’t ready for mainstream” posts so often have straight up factual errors, like this one?

Is this reaally from a Microsoft misinformation farm somewhere? /s

run these two commands:

sudo apt install mlocate

sudo updatedb

I feel like we’ve been having the same conversation for 20 years. Meanwhile the linux family of operating systems is now the most widely deployed in the world.

Not sure what your goal is but to make it so nothing can be exexuted in there you can put /home on its own filesystem and mount it with the “noexec” option.

A while ago I did this by making a custom wallpaper with a box on it and set the capture region to the box.

If you ran this as a non-root user then you didn’t move any system files you just made some copies. Delete the new copies and you should be fine.

I use nix for extra packages on my linux desktop. I don"t like brew at all.

Its a personal style choice.

With a blank line before the ‘while’ and another after the ‘done’ its a nice little easy to identify block. I don’t know how the ‘while’ would look like its not a part of that block.

A midline semicolon just looks ugly to me so I don’t do it unless it is the only way to make a statement work.

No the opposite. I think more shorter lines makes it easier to read than fewer longer lines.

It just looks weird to me to stick a semicolon into the middle of a line when a compound command isn’t actually needed.

Yes totally a personalstyle choice. To me, using a semicolon to save a line looks more ugly ; then ;)

Thats the concise help text to keep it short and easy to read.

The first line in the GNU Bash manual section on loop constructs says “Note that wherever a ‘;’ appears in the description of a command’s syntax, it may be replaced with one or more newlines.”

Serious question, why use a semicolon to put do and then on the end of the previous line?

Especially when do/done are the open and close control directives for a block.

Don’t you think bash looks much cleaner when you use it how it was designed?

I started using linux Slackware in 1996. First time I was paid to install linux on a server in 1998. It was Red Hat 5.2 way before they switch to Enterprise Linux.

Been my desktop daily driver since 1999.

Yes, I’m old.
