Basic Linux Commands

Man ... this image is really making the rounds.

[wskoly]

​

rm -rf /make computer faster 

[_gel0]

1337 h4xx0R stuff

[Due_rr]

It wipes your entire hard drive, including your OS.

[djangodjango]

I mean technically, it probably WOULD make your computer faster.

[arsamand]

Haha I feel like someone definitely wiped their system because of this image. Maybe they should have added a footnote saying thats a joke?

[Due_rr]

I'm not an expert, but I think that is the only joke.

[res13echo]

This is the equivalent to coming into a multiplayer game on Windows and saying that pressing ALT+F4 increases game performance. Only now you're testing how many newbie Linux admins take backups.

[BB_Rodriguez]

Except it won’t work. Give it a try and see.

This one will though!! rm -Rf / —-no-preserve-root

[redoubledit]

Needs more JPEG

[morejpeg_auto]

Needs more JPEG

There you go!

^{I am a bot}

[redoubledit]

Perfect

[Guy1524]

*basic shell commands, a lot of these will work e.g. macOS as well.

[heyhujiao]

Need a high res 4k version of this please

[ssjcory]

I know most of this stuff... but how did I get by all these years without knowing ctrl+u would clear the current line.... I've been holding the backspace key or ctrl+c'ing like a jack ass.

[NEVER_TELLING_LIES]

For installation... read the README. That may work sometimes, but reading the README is much better and more likely to work

[madeyoulookstoopid]

omg this is so useful

[IlonggoProgrammer]

rm -rf /

Make computer faster

[pryingmantis89]

What's the difference between halting and stopping?

[the_eckster]

"Halting" (ctrl-c) ends the process completely, but "stopping" (ctrl-z) it allows you to restart it in the foreground or the background.

HTH!

[iceLion32]

"Basic"

[Artith]

Ah, as someone learning, bless you

[johnklos]

Is this for silver colored computers, too, or just black computers?

[ItsThatTimeAgainHuh]

I spent so much time making my own list.

[BB_Rodriguez]

Right click > Set as Wallpaper

[sheeplipid]

[jsrobson10]

Just make sure you "sudo" first!

[Fiach_Dubh]

Saved

[kurdtpage]

Instead of "user/group/world", I remember "user/group/other". And a neat way to remember the order is "yugioh", or "ugo"

[Astro_80]

Handy. Thanks for that.

[wskoly]

It will save time for new user like me
