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

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

mirnapls1208y@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.

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

@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)!

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

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?
