From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Reason's I never use auto-complete in the terminal. Sadly, that's sometimes not enough.

just be careful and review what tab-suggest shows.

Reasons to have backups more like. No need to make life hard

Your life isn't my life, and restoring backups is no less a hassle just for having them(personally, I backup files, and either fix what I break or do a clean install). Auto-complete also makes me lose my train of thought, but if its helpful to you, enjoy.

Did you just disagree and then agree in the same sentence

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Sure, if that's your level of thought and reading comprehension, let's say you've got it. Is it really so hard to understand the notion that what works for you doesn't work for me, but I'm okay with you doing whatever?

Keep practicing, kid.

If talking like that makes you feel better, sure!
