If you don't enjoy learning new skills, then Linux may not be a good choice, unless you have someone available to set it up, customize and maintain it for you. I disagree. This certainly was the case in the late 1990's and very early 2000's, when Linux was pretty much just DOS on steroids and

I agree with Rastislav. I've been using Linux since the 1990s. I think it's important to understand that the culture associated with Linux is different from what you'll find elsewhere. If you enjoy learning new skills and new software, there are endless opportunities for expanding your

That's why slint has its own email list. Slackware is no more difficult than most other distros. The https://www.slackbook.org site has documentation on slackware and slint has a doc command any user can run to do some slint-specific reading. The vanilla slackware would work on a handful of

I'm guessing bistro was autocurrupt's doing. Anyways, Slint is a offshoot of Slackware, a distro notorious for being difficult for new Linux users to wrangle, and because of that Slint is a bit polarizing among Blind Linux Users. If I'm not mistaken, the name Slint comes from Slackware

You could use rename with a regexp. e.g. rename s'/blablabla//'g *_bla*txt will remove blablabla from all *_bla*txt files. Willem On Thu, 5 Oct 2023, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: I want to strip a directory of file names of certain characters, like these. : ? ? Detox will do
