From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode (lemm.ee)

I get that it's open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

screen or tmux are invaluable for programming in the terminal. both for opening more than one shell in a session, and for not accidentally closing a session just because you accidentally closed the window or lost connection. Check this out.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Shit tmux looks awesome. I've currently only really used screen while hosting a Minecraft server but I kept accidentally closing the process when trying to check if it's still active lol.

I still do 99% of my coding of windows but this is tempting.

Another option for Minecraft is daemonizing the process (ctrl+X in terminal, bg, then some command to disown it from your shell that I can't remember)

[–] pythonoob@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this different from it running as a service?

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, running as a service is generally better as it auto restarts it the machine reboots but daemonizing just means having it run without a shell attached I believe
