Just moved to linux. Went with elementaryOS. Already ran into a little issue with eclipse which is now fixed. For those of you who use linux, what distro do you use, is there any special commands that really come in handy?

Ls ... will list the current directory
Cd change directory
Sudo... the super power command will give you root (administrator ) privellages
Good luck with linux...its an interesting world
I like ubuntu.. mint and debian ..

The package manager to install software with console commands is really useful.

"apt search gimp" to search for software (in this example gimp)

"sudo apt-get install gimp" to install software

A fellow elementary OS user here! Have been using it for about two years now :)

oh and yeah sometimes elementarys ram doesn't clean itself so I use a little script for that. I'll try to find it tomorrow! It has saved my ass many times :P

@linuxxx Yeah, the issue with linux was actually crashing my laptop and rebooting it. Which I found really weird. I expected this on windows not on linux, but I'm sure I'll eventually get a hand of it.

@mirnapls Crashing as in freezing?

Comenting because i want that script too @linuxxx

Archlinux at home, Fedora at work

I use fedora and it has some predefined alias like for ls -a ls -l and I started to create my own like

rdir -> rm -rf

The only issues I've had are Wayland's fault, with HDMI output and JetBrains IDEs, and that dotnet core has still no support for libicu57, besides that everything cool

Sudo bash ;)

I use Fedora on my laptop, Ubuntu server, and an awful lot of Amazon's distro. The best tool I use on a regular basis is the Silver Searcher, available on all distros. Much easier to use than grep.

Using KDE neon 5.9.1

@DarthDev you can also "sudo apt install #{program}" it has beautiful colouuurs

I use linux mint xfce on my laptop. Very light os , i run 3 ide's at a time with no performance issues . Runs smooth as butter.

I installed antergos with KDE yesterday and I'm liking it so far.

I always find myself using "sudo rm - rf /" whenever I get bored. But you should try it without root access first, the results are very different.

@linuxxx commenting for script! even my elementaryos freezes randomly!

@randomnumber @DRHAX34 @mirnapls Oo uhm you know fuck it if I get time today I'll put it in a public repo (it's a very simple thingy though)!

@randomnumber @DRHAX34 @mirnapls
Alright fuck that repo, I stripped the (only 4-5 lines but whatever xD) script down a little but here's the full thing:
free;
echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------";
sync; echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
free;

If you'd want it without all the echo's etc, just run this part (in a cron job maybe?):
sync; echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
