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'm the kind that never opens a file manager other than to move stuff from one directory to another

    File Manager is the best for bulk renaming too

    I mean if you knew the command XD a single for loop should work

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Eh you rapidly need to know regular expressions to accomplish bulk renaming in the terminal, where some GUI tools like Bulky are a little more powerful for people without chronic eye fatigue.

    Yeah I have no idea how to do that too. But I would find it soo nice if Distros would ship bash scripts for all that.

    rename EXPRESSION EXPRESSION

    cheat(){

    I'm a POSIX shell Chad I write shell scripts with parameters in pure POSIX shell for such things /s

    You should try the ranger file manager, thanks to that I almost don't use GUI file managers unless I have a headache

    I have heard of it, but never got around to it. I suppose if I get tired of grep and find and shell scripts I'll probably head that way myself. Thanks
