Oh dear. Sorry about that. It's been a constant up-hill struggle and the constant paperwork has taken its toll. Still, my little fuck up is a bit funny.

The fuck is shit cheat-sheet stuff?

I mean, you can make those all you want, but I hardly see the point of publishing it ever.

>how to stop processes like Windows Task Manager can

Just use killall/kill and ps, dude. You also can use top. Don't use htop though, it's shit (just look at the code, it's garbage).

>create repositories for downloaded programs

It's distro-specific, no point in "learning" it, just find a manual for you distro and use it.

>be able to use devices such as the Roccat mouse and keyboard

Look, the device drivers are either in the kernel or not. If not, you could try and write them if you know what you're doing. You also could compile some of the out-of-kernel-tree code provided by 3rd party, but it's not usually how it goes.

> Don't use htop

I'll create a warning in the .pdf

> To create a location to install and store downloaded programs in, find the manual that's specific to your distribution.

> If the drivers for 3rd party hardware (Fancy keyboard or mouse's with LED programs such as Roccat) are not already supported by the linux kernel, then you must obtain the source-code and compile it for linux. This is done by applying the bash command on the configure file, which should be within the programs (source-code) directory. Then enter the make command while still being in the directory??

I think all this paperwork has taken a toll on my mental health. But I'm determined to learn how to use linux. The cheat-sheet provides examples on how the commands are used, something which the man-pages lack. It's also a collection of material from different sources. If I didn't take these notes, I would have go back and look for a source that can help me fill in the holes whenever I forgot to do something.

The problem is that I don't know how much I need to learn before I can consider myself proficient with Linux. I've already borked by computer twice already (Although that was a long time ago) and I still don't know how to use wine. All I can do is push on by finding scraps on different web-pages and organizing them into something more coherent. That, and watching YouTube videos or buying courses on Udemy.

But perhaps by sharing my work with others, I can spare them the pain of having to repeat this slog. But I wonder if there's a guide that's just as good, if not better than the one I'm making?

>I'll create a warning in the .pdf

Htop is a shitty piece of code, don't add anything beyond that. People use shitty code all the time, and GNU/Linux development stack is full of shit in general, but it's not like people are going to stop wanting some specific software.

> To create a location to install and store downloaded programs in, find the manual that's specific to your distribution.

This isn't what I had in mind, dude.

a) You don't strictly need to "install" programs unless you actually need to

b) You can usually dump your own stuff into /usr/local, if it is the ./configure prefix what you are looking for

Package manager, and, consequentially, custom/local repositories are distro-specific though, that's what I was saying.

Dude, don't write anything THAT specific until you have actually compiled the kernel yourself at least once, OK? It's misleading and plain out wrong.

>something which the man-pages lack

Man-pages are usually just about perfect at describing what program does. Don't hesitate to use search with "/" on them.

If you don't understand some specific technological term, look it up.

If you don't understand the technology you are about to manipulate (and you need to understand), look up the technology docs, rfcs, whatever.

You can look up usage examples online, too.

It's really easy with online search LOL.

>The problem is that I don't know how much I need to learn before I can consider myself proficient with Linux

Just don't think about it dude. Keep bashing your head against the wall until you can solve all your problems LMAO. If the problem is unsolvable at current Leenooks development stage, it will be pretty obvious.

>I still don't know how to use wine

<wine - run Windows programs on Unix

<wine program [arguments ... ]

Just type "wine path/to/program.exe" LMAO

Like, did you even try to read the manual dude?

>>1049191

When I last opened its source code circa 2016, I found two actual bugs after about an evening of looking through that disgusting boilerplate code (well, I actually was trying to use the program as it was intended). Like, fuck.

The bugs were introduced in 2.0.0, I think, and I have no idea if they are fixed to this day. I mean, one of them was fixed if I recall, and I have my patch on me still, but I don't remember the nature of the bug. Something about some non-default view mode not displaying correctly. And I don't want to install htop, period, it traumatized me for life.

I have no idea, I didn't read OP's PDF either.

Also I have no idea who that mikee dude is. I'm just a tad bored.

It is a teenager show.

It is kinda simple-ish, though a lot of adult problems are already raised and commented on. The characters will go through actual development, though maybe not much. I dunno how to elaborate on this. I am not American to elaborately judge its commentary on American politics, but I find it rather, I'd say, daring.

>pron

Also Star is sexy as fuck. xD

>>1049273

Thanks for your advice. But I wonder why the man-pages don't go into depth about how programs are applied.
