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.

    I personally do most of my heavy scripting in python

    Python is great for scripting, but the advantages of nu and powershell are the ease of interacting with system utilities and the availability of common commands like ls etc.

    of course, you can always do subprocess.run or os.listdir(), but that is not as simple as scripting in nu or powershell.

    This is true

    Although, i find this isn't as much an issue if you use python's STL as much as you can

    Pathlib and shutil are really handy for file manips

    But, yea interfacing with external CLI utilities like git is a PITA

    Oh there's also xonsh which is just a shell built put of python
