  • Everyone here is throwing resources about where to learn more about Bash instead of answering the question. I’d say regex is good to learn regardless as it’s pretty much used everywhere, but advanced bash scripting probably isn’t worth the trouble unless you’re using sysvinit scripts or something. Bash was really the first language I learned and nowadays I find myself starting scripts in bash and then quickly converting over to python the moment I have to manipulate strings. Python is much more straightforward in that regard.






  • I don’t think this is a KDE problem, but more the way Linux operates. I looked into this once and it’s basically because Linux considers the operation done when the source file is completely read and committed to the destination, but not actually written yet. I see this same behavior with my USB backup drives where something finishes but then I have to wait a minute or two when actually unmounting the drive. I think there’s a way to change this but I’ve never done it.

    P.S. I just want KDE to make activities great again :(

    RTFM doesn’t have to literally mean to read text, just like saying “let me google that for you” doesn’t have to literally be google. Both statements are similar; the point is instead of burdening others with teaching you something, go learn it on your own whether that be the manual or random Indian tech youtuber.
