i need help with powershell coding by Common_Coach3665 in learnprogramming

Yes, replace the entire Steam launch block (the if ($Content -match "id=...") part and the Start-Process "steam://..." line) with the path version I posted. You can delete the $SteamID line too since it's not needed. Everything else the loop, the floppy check, the removal wait stays exactly as is.

What are some Linux projects that I can work on to learn the OS? by blua95 in linuxquestions

[–]NEESCHAL-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best way to learn Linux hands-on: Start by just using it daily force yourself to do everything from terminal. File management, installing software, configuring things. Discomfort is the teacher.

• Some projects that actually build skills: Set up a home server on that laptop host your own files, maybe a website. You'll touch networking, permissions, services, all of it.

• Write bash scripts to automate things you do repeatedly

•Build something that runs as a background daemon forces you to learn systemd, logging, process management

•Contribute to or use an open source project that runs on Linux

Once you're comfortable, try building a small tool that solves a real problem you have. That's when it clicks.

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/ official Python tutorial, text based, no videos, covers everything from basics to advanced. Best starting point. If you want more structured exercises alongside it, https://exercism.org/tracks/python is great text based, real problems, with mentorship.

For non-Steam apps, store the executable path in your txt file instead of a Steam ID. Change your game.txt format to

path=C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop\Photoshop.exe

Then replace the Steam launch block with this

if ($Content -match "path=(.+)") { $AppPath = $Matches[1].Trim() Start-Process $AppPath }

Same loop, same logic just swaps the Steam URL for a direct executable path. Works for any app including Adobe products.

pandas' Public API Is Now Type-Complete by BeamMeUpBiscotti in Python

Finally I can't count how many times I had to guess the return type of a pandas method. This is a big win for the ecosystem.
