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.

    Ahahahah imagine writing a short story to install a browser

    [–] dezmd 10 points 6 months ago

    Yeah, totally.

    Just imagine trying to do this with Windows Powershell, without a package manager like chocolatey to make it simple like linux...

    $workdir = "c:\installer\"

If (Test-Path -Path $workdir -PathType Container)

{ Write-Host "$workdir already exists" -ForegroundColor Red}

ELSE

{ New-Item -Path $workdir  -ItemType directory }

$source = "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=win64&lang=en-US"

$destination = "$workdir\firefox.exe"

if (Get-Command 'Invoke-Webrequest')

{

     Invoke-WebRequest $source -OutFile $destination

}

else

{

    $WebClient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient

    $webclient.DownloadFile($source, $destination)

}

Start-Process -FilePath "$workdir\firefox.exe" -ArgumentList "/S"

Start-Sleep -s 35

rm -Force $workdir/firefox*

    Could be three. Just make your only account the root user.

    Make it two: emerge firefox (Gentoo users only)

    emerge

    its four words

    By the time you reach writing 4 words on Windows, you''l have enough mental exhaustion for it to be equivalent to a short story.
