- 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

sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

tar --help should be valid, right?
~~Ten seconds to fully comprehend the help lines and execute it on the first try.~~
~~There is a reason I have macros for that.~~
Edit: Oh wait. ANY Tar command... Clever solution
tar -help
-xf
dpkg -i ...
Leave me alone, I had to try it. And yes I've tried it before.
People in the comments seem to be confused. "Archived" as in compressed to a tarball, or "archived" as in no longer maintained?
Second, I thought all linux users find software at github like me But when I was linux newbie, even tar archives were hard to open
Or they are just joking. That's how it looks to me anyway.
Mama mia, thatβs a spicy tarball π€π€π€
Huh, tnx, that rhythmes with a spicy pillow (I guess?)
Some projects achieve total perfection and require no more support. No, I can't name any.
