Officially Apart Of The Linux Master Race!

I always used Windows all my life, but Windows 10 is my breaking point. I hated the bloatware and agonizing CPU usage. So I officially switched my PC's operating system to Linux Mint. At first it was hard to get use to, but now I am getting the kick of it and loving the feel of it.

I love the lightweight based UI and the customization. It basically has every program I use on a daily basis. I am currently learning more about the terminal and the file system. I love how it requires less CPU and RAM to run than Windows 10. It has intrigued me to learn more about other Linux distros and Unix operating systems (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, ETC.)

The only pain I have found was installing drivers and connecting to the internet, but other than that experience, It has been a great learning experience. People need to give Linux Mint Cinnamon some more love once in a awhile.

Discussion : Linux against windows vs linux-windows friendship/pal rivalry

I comes from a debate where I was stating that I prefer windows over linux for reasons, and came to the controversial (mostly unliked) opinion that linux should try to mimic more of some windows features. Someone opened my eyes and guided me toward an alternative point of view : linux should be different from windows, but if you prefer windows, then it's fine.

What is your opinion about this ? Do you think that people should ditrch the evil Microsoft and go full linux and open-source ? Do you think that linux should kill windows ? Or do you think that there might be an OS for everyone, and that Linux users and Windows users could be equally good people and produce equally good stuff out of their favorite OS ? Do you think that linux can do more than tolerate windows and can benefit from it ?

In short, do you believe in peace, cohabitation, and that each OS can be beneficial in its own way to the user ?

What are you favorite hands-on training classes for linux related topics?

I really like "Docker Mastery" on Udemy: [https://www.udemy.com/docker-mastery/](https://www.udemy.com/docker-mastery/)

I've heard good things about linux academy, but have not yet used it. What are your experiences with linux academy; is it worth the monthly cost?

I JUST FATFINGERED A "rm -rf /"*.................

I `ctrl+C`ed it fairly fast and I don't see anything missing (wasn't sudo), but OMG am I dumb as bricks. I thought you had to do --no-preserve-root for that to work??

Goddamn!!

Edit: I hit it because I was going for the asterisk on the numpad, who has a `/` just one key to the left. RIP

PSA: The rm utility accepts flags AFTER the file path

For some reason, every example of `rm` I see posted on the internet puts flags first, e.g. the form `rm -r /path/to/dir`, yet the syntax `rm /path/to/dir -r` is just as valid (at least for the GNU Coreutils). I think the latter syntax should be preferred for most human users.

Putting dangerous flags such as `-r` and `-f` after the path has the following advantages:

* The flag won't be there if you slip your finger and accidentally press enter early; for example, if you want to type `rm /path/to/dir -r` but accidentally press enter after typing `rm /path/to`, the `-r` flag will not be present, preventing destructive damage;
* You get a chance to double-check the path you entered. If you type `rm -r /path/to/dir` you may be instinctively tempted to press the enter key as soon as you type the last character, whereas if you aim for `rm /path/to/dir -r`, you can take a calm moment to make sure the path you entered is correct before adding the destructive `-r` flag.

This post has been inspired by the recent [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/c6c5sy/i_just_fatfingered_a_rm_rf/) where somebody messed up their `rm` command once again. This isn't the first post of its kind, and the comments show that the OP is far from the only one who makes an `rm` mistake in their lifetime.

I personally think it should be considered a good practice to always put destructive flags like `-r` and `-f` last, and have gotten into this habit myself. I think it is kind of a pity that every example `rm` command people post online puts them first, which gives many the impression that the flags have to come first.
