While I've been teaching myself bash scripting on the side, I just discovered Bash also has a man file.
Look at the size of this thing!
Mind. Blown.
#FediHelp Please recomend me a good book or online resource on light-weight bash scripting (batch-processing files and lists of files, remote mysql, etc.). Something less intimidating in size and depth compared to `man bash`. Thank you!
@cleantext I recommend checking out @nixCraft to get uo to speed...
Otherwise you can find sites like https://linux.die.net which can be set as search parameter in like @monocles / #MonoclesSearch and #DuckDuckGo.
@cleantext np.
There are also other resources to check out as well...
@[email protected] that depends. I do know there's like @[email protected] for @[email protected]… - And you'll find lots of writeups by @[email protected] and @[email protected] among others. There's no *"definitive"* Linux how-to site, unless you consider #mapages readers like https://linux.die.net but it certainly that's not wuat you were looking for. - I do recommend to play in a VM cuz depending on your use case and workflow it's less of a *"click"* and more of a *"dawns on you"* kinda moment.
@cleantext well, it depends on what your productivity tool is.
It's also an exercise in #FrugalComputing and asking "What do I actually need to be able to work?" and the answer is pretty simple: An SSH-Terminal!
@cleantext there's nothing wrong choosing a #GUI over a #TUI / #CLI.
@kkarhan Thanks for saying it. I either get burned for using GUI or Emacs :D (occasionally)
Kinda loving Debian. It's my daily driver after a few years of distro-hopping. Which is yours?
@cleantext depends.
I tend to use #UbuntuLTS because I don't want to reinstall every 6 months and abecause I want to have something that can easily tick all the boxes employers care, like #PCIDSS, #FIPS140 & Common Criteria becaise I won't touch #Windows even with a full-body hazmat suit and ambient-independent air supply.
