alias mkfol=mkdir
There you go buddy.
Who the fuck uses mkfol? Like that’s even a real command. GTFO
If only there were some way to give new names to an existing command. You could call them… Idk, nicknames? Pseudonyms? Or maybe a shorter word that means the same thing.
Somebody should invent that.
alias is a command to give nicknames to any other command in Linux
alias mkfol=mkdir
So using mkfol calls for mkdir
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
Yadda yadda alpine Linux yadda yadda
yadda yadda nooo distro is better bla bla bla yadda
You fucking freax
Folder? I hardly know her!
IMHO “folder” just sounds a lot more cozier than “directory”.
I misread “cozier” as “cooler” and wondered if you were completely insane.
Now I imagine some lemming cozying up on a desk full of office supplies.
Either way I don’t really get it.
alias cf=cdEven though the gui file manager shows all directories as an image of a manila folder…
And they give you the option to create a new folder, not a directory.
The folders in Windows are not much of a folder anyway
They don’t even fold
Yes they do! My laptop folds for example and it has windows on it!
But windows are glass, and glass downtown fold. Wait do you have one of those fancy foldable laptops? Lucky
And the command prompt uses the directory terminology anyway with the dir command.
Actually in windows, “dir” os short for “direct me to a list of this folders contents please, mr Gates”
Linux group after rightfully stating their distro choice factually sucks: RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…
“It sucks” is an opinionated statement, not a fact, and thus can’t be rightful.
what if it’s embedded linux in a vaccum cleaner?
On the contrary. Opinions are subjective individual experience, and will always be rightful in the person’s eyes. Just like an opinion cannot be objectively true. An opinion cannot, by definition, be wrong. It’s their opinion, and they’re entitled to it, and to tell them their subjective experience of reality is incorrect in matters of taste is not only tactless but pointless.
When you mention you used a GUI:
Foldurr
FOLD THE DIR!!!
FOLD THE DIR!
Fold the dir!
Fold dir…
Foldr…
… and then you get shredded to bits by a horde of Linux users.
Starting with Apple II, folder never caught on with me anyway. Everything has always been a directory.
Yah, these kids and their new-fangled “Graphical User Interfaces” have to keep coming up with new words for the same old stuff all the time.
I’m lazy and saying “folder” is fewer syllables than saying “directory”.
