The real question is which buffer are you using? Team middle-click ftw.
Heheh on Linux when you think you found the answer you copy paste, log out and back in. Sometimes reboot if it donβt with try the next copy and paste.. so many memories
Itβs funny cuz itβs true
I've spent some much time in a terminal the last week I'm starting to Ctrl+x anytime I want to save anything lol. Even illustrator files at work lol.
Just be careful with those two letter shell commands like rm and dd. But if you don't, you will become proficient in reinstalling Linux.
You'll learn when you do more of those
Honestly this is good enough for most people. Some may say you risk fucking up the os/computer but windows guides carry the same risk.
I'm sad because this is true.
Also, man -k is a lost, dark art.

Lol yep.
You copypaste till everything is in the terminal history, then you just scroll through it like a pro
