Update - Visualization for any shell command — right from your terminal. Written in pure Go.

Previous post [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/clfxel/visualization_for_any_shell_command_right_from/) got many upvote, but also many bad comment because of the licencing.

Since then, the project seems to have switched to GPLv3. I thought it was worth keeping you guys posted.

Since Linux Journal is closing down I made a FTP server with the entirety of the site downloaded for archiving sake.

Hey everyone! With the news the Linux Journal is closing and the site going away soon I downloaded the entire website and put it onto a FTP server so we still have access to it and won’t lose a ton of cool Linux history or info.

Videos and podcasts still work since they were not hosted on the site. Also it’s not sorted or anything but I’m working on that in my spare time and will have a table of contents-esque thing in place to help navigate through it. However, if you connect to it through mobile, tried this on Safari mind you, and open an HTML file it’ll act as if you’re on the site and let you interact with it as if it is one. If there’s any issues let me know! Here’s an easy link to it: [Linux Journal Archive](ftp://safetypanda.net) if that goofs up try ftp://45.79.14.179 Enjoy!

Beginner wanting to learn linux

I would love to learn the essentials of linux as I start to learn Python and development in general. I have a few questions and would love some advice.

Any recommendations on tutorials?

Are there projects that can be done to learn everything you need?

I plan on wiping my computer of windows and installing linux (Ubuntu) just so I can use command line as much as possible, but still use GUI from time to time.

Linux cnc

Hello everyone. I have some doubts about linux and cnc. I’m currently using a windows pc with mach3 but im a long term linux user and i don’t really like windows (only using it on my cnc machine and for gaming). Even tho I use linux on a daily basis I have no idea about linux and cnc. I know about linux cnc (the foss) and astroprint, etc, but i dont really know how it all behaves.

I want to know if there’s any linux based OS specifically for cnc and if it’s actually good. I also want to know if there’s a better alternative to linux CNC that works like mach3.

Also my machine uses a parallel port for communication. Just in case this info helps with anything. I’ll do my own investigation as well of course but I just wanted to ask you guys if you know more about it and your opinions on these kind of things.

Thank you all in advance.

Okay so, I was thinking of switching over to linux for my next computer and I would like some advice from people who know Linux inside and out

Little backstory, about 3 years ago I got my first true taste of Linux, it was on some type of Macbook (the older plastic ones) and it actually ran almost as fast as my computer some how (at least when it came to watching Youtube) and ever sense then I've wanted to try Linux again, now lets get into the questions.

What is the best version of Linux for software (I've heard good things about Ubuntu)

What's the best program for windows compatibility?

What are some reasons that I should upgrade (like, how much better is Linux from windows?)

And one last question, what are some downsides from Linux to windows?

(I didn't know what the proper flair would be for a question so I labeled it as hardware)

Something very odd and funny I found while reading an amazon book review.

>9) Huawei, which in 2016 was responsible for the creation of 17% of the standard distribution of the Linux operating system kernel, has taken over much of the 5G wireless networking systems; Huawei, is well known by Chinese in China, to be a part of the Chinese military, no matter what the public image is to the outer world, non-中国 world. Given those facts, it is possible the Chinese military already has control over most of the computers and phones utilizing Linux and Android operating systems. (Perhaps that is why Google is working with the Chinese military? Most of Google's computers are based on Linux, as well as all Android phones)
