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.

    Given that their hand is over the mouse and not the keyboard/enter key, I assume they're gonna click close on the terminal :p

    Right click for paste, they have \n in the clipboard

    Afaik \n may not run a command. I have pasted multiline commands but they only seem to run after hitting enter

    Depends on the terminal I think. Pretty sure KDE's Konsole warns you that commands may be run when pasting something with newlines, but still allows it.

    There is an exploit which addresses copy pasting things in terminal. Where you'd copy one thing, but when pasting you get more than you bargained for. Any decent terminal would ignore \n for this reason or at least not treat it as pressing enter.

    It definitely runs the command for me in GNOME Terminal. Pasting multiple commands at once runs everything but the last command.

    Well they did have the type the command, and to do that they would first have to navigate to the terminal (assuming the machine isn't running just a plain tty) first.
