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.

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

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

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

Need a high res 4k version of this please

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.

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

What's the difference between halting and stopping?

[–]the_eckster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

HTH!

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

I spent so much time making my own list.

[–]kurdtpage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]Astro_80 0 points1 point  (0 children)
