where the fuck did you copy this list from, redditard

get off my board

>>57386604
Wow you total cunt. I was trying to share some interesting things I've learnt about Linux over the ages, why don't you fuck off back to /cm/, you fucking trap-loving shitstain.

The fuck is wrong with you cunts, I try and make a useful fucking thread and I get little micropajeets coming in with this bs.

I hope Pakistan drops nukes on all your fucking major cities you utter piece of shit.

I see you are new to GNU/Linux on /g/, sorry. I thought you were the cunt that made the shitty infographic you posted.
He used to shitpost here a lot and got BTFO basically every day.

>>57387026
I'm not him, though I'm hardly new to Linux. I don't know why the fuck you shitrags criticize without actually doing better. If you want to bait useful threads without an actual purpose except to be a cunt, go do it on /v/ or /pol/ or better yet, fucking kill yourself.

>>57387092
Your pic was taken apart so often won't bother again. It is enough to mention the date it was made and to see the last changes in the install manual.

>>57387144
The pic was just to set the tone more than become the focal point of the thread you severely-autistic dumbfuck.
Now back to the actual discussion and no more autists.

perf stat <cmd>

is a lot better than

Also, nicked this one from a alias thread

translate () {
    if [ -f $1 ] ; then
        case $1 in
            *.tar.bz2) tar xvjf $1 && cd $(basename "$1" .tar.bz2) ;;

            *) echo "don't know how to translate '$1'..." ;;
        esac
    else
        echo "Cannot translate '$1'"
    fi
}

If no one uses them and reports back, they won't ever get good. As they are, they're not atrocious, just a little bit rough around the edges. They do tend to do a good job for most videos and they do actually result in smaller filesizes for downloads of TV series etc.

I accidentally discovered this today

when using bash you can press ctrl+r which will open an auto-completing reverse history search, probably one of the most handiest things I've learned about linux in years

Only your first point is specifically Linux. And of course illumos/OpenIndiana does containers better with Solaris Zones.

>>57387561
look pretty usefull =)

>>57387561
or alternatively
alias translate='7z x'
7z does all compression formats
why has noone moved in yet

>>57385308
dtrx
automatically extract archives correctly, even with right permissions and everything.

get youtube-dl and you can use mpv to watch youtube videos.

in urxvt, use ctrl-alt-{c,v} for copy and paste

on a laptop, cd to /sys/class/backlight/(your device)/
writing a value to the brightness file (echo 100 > brightness) will actually change your screen brightness
