diff -y -W 200 file1 file2
Shows a side by side diff of 2 files with enough column width to see most of what I need usually.
I have actually aliased this command as diffy
ctrl-r
searching bash history
du -sh * | sort -h
shows size of all files and dirs in the current dir and sorts them in ascending order so you can easily see the largest files or dirt ant the end of the list
ls -ltr
Shows the most recently modified files at the end of the listing.
If you are going to dual boot and your computer has room for 2 drives. The way I would recommend doing it is to add a second drive for Linux, and disconnect to windows drive from the computer. Do a normal linux install. And then add the windows drive back in. Then you can set one of the drives as the default boot device and if you want to boot to the other just open the Boot options on boot.
This keeps things totally separated and you can even remove one of the drives later if you want to single boot.
TBF, if a potential partner is super excited about something you never heard of, looking into it is a good thing.
Conservatives, and other assholes, are good about hiding their crazy behind seemingly innocent things, like pepe the frog.
EDIT: And after making the comment below I just noticed the date on the version is 2022? I’m going need to try out the latest version from their Git.
I use droidify because I like the look of it better. It comes with another repo enabled by default called IzzyOnDroid which has the Alpha versions of lawnchair.
I’ve been using it for years. It’s great.
Me: Linux Sysadmin
Co-workers: 2 Linux sysadmins with 15+ years of experience.

I bought a 21 inch 1080p Viewsonic monitor from a thrift store just the other day for $6. I got it just for this use case.
I had a spare for this purpose up until about a month ago when the backlight went out on one of my daily drivers.
Also, a couple of days ago I got a pretty nice steelcase apex 3 keyboard with RGB lights for $5.
I use Debian everywhere but if I need a Live Linux environment to recover files, clone a drive, wipe a drive, or really anything else I use ventoy and a Linux mint iso.
I’m a cool grandpa with old hardware.
I use the terminal so much that I frequently accidentally use Ctrl-Shift-C and V outside of the terminal.
Ctrl-Shift-V usually works pretty well as it does a paste without formatting in a lot of places.
Accidentally hitting Ctrl-Shift-C though in a MS Team’s chat though, starts a voice call with all chat participants. 😑 hate it
Every distro.
Samba file shares should use regular user credentials and not have separate samba usernames and passwords.
Every distro with gnome.
Make RDP work as well as it does on Windows.
I’m talking about remoting into the Linux system.
Everytime the system is restarted you have to physically login to the system to unlock the keyring so that your RDP password is accessible or you won’t be able to get in. Or you have to remove your keyring password all together. Why is this different than the regular user password?
Also it’s weird that it works like VNC where you are controlling the system remotely but anyone local can see what you are doing on the screen. It is also cool to have that option but it shouldn’t be the default.
Smash the office, build more housing
And the RTO demands are about intentionally lowering headcount without paying unemployment or severance so they can boost their numbers.
I’m a Linux admin at work and I use Linux for my main system.
I do need to administer some Windows only things too. I got them to give me an older desktop system running windows that I leave running in my cube.
Anytime I need to do Windows stuff I remote into that machine.
How did that exchange go?
They try to tell you that you can’t use your last name?
Remote desktop working like it does in windows.
I love linux and it is really all I use but RDP support is severly worse than windows.
