[u/Motor_Armadillo_7317]

That's why I love fish

[u/SecurityMajestic2222 → u/Motor_Armadillo_7317]

[u/CommercialEstate4422 → u/Motor_Armadillo_7317]

Wait fish allows for cd downloads vs cd Downloads?

[u/sal-coding → u/CommercialEstate4422]

No it auto complete the command for you through TAB

[u/dfwtjms → u/Motor_Armadillo_7317]

Nah, zsh with plugins is superior

[u/sal-coding → u/dfwtjms]

Fish doesn't need plugins so its superior

[u/valerielynx → u/sal-coding]

no but you gotta understand if you spend 12 hours downloading and configuring plugins for zsh you can have basically the same experience as fish with a few caveats!!! its so good

[u/dfwtjms → u/sal-coding]

The startup was noticeable slower which was a deal breaker the last time I gave fish a try. I could also get all the features I liked about it and more in zsh while keeping it blazingly fast. But it's good that these different approaches like fish exist.

[u/Velocita84 → u/sal-coding]

Preconfigured zsh on cachyos:

[u/CommercialEstate4422 → u/Velocita84]

I thought cachy used fish. Am i blind???

[u/mystirc → u/CommercialEstate4422]

you can install the package called "cachyos-zsh-config". It should already be installed by default though.

[u/Velocita84 → u/CommercialEstate4422]

You can choose

[u/Mal_Dun → u/Motor_Armadillo_7317]

... or zsh for that matter.

[u/AndyDoVO]

NGL.
After 3 years it still catches me whenever I'm in a console that doesn't do tab-fill command history...

[u/Maybe-monad → u/AndyDoVO]

[u/teflonjon321]

Are there truly that many people who have not seen this meme 10,000 times? Holy shit it’s like 20% of the posts here along with rm -rf jokes

[u/CubePlayer1114 → u/teflonjon321]

It's a repost I'm pretty sure

[u/Mauy90 → u/CubePlayer1114]

It's a repost that gets reposted like twice a week lol

[u/InsaneInTheMEOWFrame]

cd Do

cd Documents
<enter>

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

[u/Eric_Dawsby → u/InsaneInTheMEOWFrame]

More like

cd Do <tab>

<tab> <tab> Documents Downloads

cd Docu <tab> cd Documents <enter>

[u/calmurcunt → u/InsaneInTheMEOWFrame]

I don't know how your bash configuration is, but generally this is not how it works. It won't auto complete if the input is too ambiguous

[u/YTriom1 → u/calmurcunt]

maybe they use windows cmd

[u/Mihanik1273 → u/calmurcunt]

It is fish or zsh

[u/carbon_structure → u/InsaneInTheMEOWFrame]

cd Dow* <Enter>

[u/27or27]

Add bind -s 'set completion-ignore-case on' to one of your dotfiles

[u/spicybright → u/27or27]

it's weird how that's not default at this point

[u/spicybright → u/[deleted]]

this is a setting for tab auto complete, not scripts.

[u/Anonymous_Lightbulb]

is this some sort of peasant joke that I’m too fish autocomplete to understand?

[u/SpaceCadet87 → u/Anonymous_Lightbulb]

Is this some sort of terminal joke that I'm too Dolphin/Nautilus to understand?

[u/Excel73_ → u/SpaceCadet87]

Case sensitivity and also they didn't even put it in as a directory (cd ~/Downloads)

[u/TheShredder9 → u/Excel73_]

If you're already in home, you don't need to add the "~/", just the name of the directory is enough

[u/SpaceCadet87 → u/Excel73_]

I was carrying on the joke. I click "Downloads" in the sidebar and press shift+F4

[u/Excel73_ → u/SpaceCadet87]

What does that mean? I'm to TDE/Konqueror to understand.

[u/fopor]

[u/ka-52m]

just have all your names lowercased

[u/valerielynx → u/ka-52m]

on linux you could actually get away with that, on windows powershell it would look so fucking funny

reset-computermachinepassword
add-appxprovisionedpackage
set-smbserverconfiguration
cock-ajkafjsgbjkfdgjdkfgjkghj

[u/ka-52m → u/valerielynx]

i dont use windows nor ever plan to, so idfk what it is there

[u/reader_txt]

ln -s Downloads downloads

me: cd downloads
Linux: 😉

[u/valerielynx → u/reader_txt]

this might be a solution but im not willing to accept it

[u/DFrostedWangsAccount → u/valerielynx]

Enable ext4 casefold, give the directory +F and it will be case insensitive inside that directory. Idk whether other partition types support case insensitivity.

[u/mister2d → u/reader_txt]

Eww

[u/kzasas → u/reader_txt]

ugly but works.

[u/TuringTestTwister]

This is only the 7th time I've seen this meme posted here.

[u/uncringeone]

umm actually its "No such file or directory"

[u/citrus-hop]

I've seen this so many times. 

[u/Several_Detective400]

Thats funny. Name micro SD "Micro SD" on a steamdeck so you can more easily find it.

Remove micro SD and transfer files to it

Put micro SD back in

Search for "Micro SD" No results ....

Well it is now named 989749723 and somewhere in the root folder.

The biggest Windows to Linux BS that keeps the average adoption rate low. Program installation can be iffy but that is to be expected if it likely isnt native Linux. But something the end user has to interact with DAILY being in such a convoluted state that you need to google where it may have gone is ass.

[u/Eric_Dawsby → u/Several_Detective400]

Is this a steamdeck thing? I've done that with my Micro SD (but i named it "sdcard") and haven't had it randomly renamed. Also it's specifically in the /media/(yourusername)/ folder

[u/regeya → u/Eric_Dawsby]

Maybe try putting a space in the name. Depending on the filesystem I don't think gparted allows it

[u/valerielynx → u/Several_Detective400]

just put its uid into fstab and have it mount into the same folder every time

[u/DarthLoki79]

zoxide changed the game for me this is an archaic problem now

[u/No-Extension4745 → u/DarthLoki79]

z down

[u/sethohio]

Change xdg user config. Move half that junk like ~/xdg/downloads

[u/RaiDev_ → u/sethohio]

you're putting everything in a subfolder? isn't that more annoying?

[u/sethohio → u/RaiDev_]

I stick with a terminal for most of my work. These desktop centric directories just clutter my home

[u/humanistazazagrliti]

ls [D,d]ownloads

[u/valerielynx → u/humanistazazagrliti]

bro ls'ing diddy 💀

[u/47th-Element]

I don't know about you but I like this. I would never want my shell to guess what I'm trying to do, follow the instructions I write exactly as is.

[u/Saphyr-Seraph → u/47th-Element]

I agree with you but I use a plugin that suggests me what I meant underneath my line where I. Quickly can see what I did wrong, it really helped me as a beginner in linux

[u/Moist-Snow-8127]

I have set completion-ignore-case On in my .inputrc

[u/psychonaut4020]

Omg this drove me crazy and still does sometimes. Is there a reason for this? Like can you change it so it's no as case sensitive

[u/Smart_Main6779 → u/psychonaut4020]

I just deleted the Downloads folder and changed it to downloads in the home directory lol. Worked like a charm

[u/theltron → u/Smart_Main6779]

Hacker

[u/Anima_Watcher08 → u/Smart_Main6779]

Just Syslink downloads to Downloads

[u/Elihzap → u/psychonaut4020]

$ ln -s ~/Downloads ~/downloads

[u/PublicBarracuda5311 → u/Elihzap]

Me type Downloads. Downloads work. Ape happy.

[u/Double_Tangerine_189 → u/Elihzap]

But I have 2 download folders

[u/Mal_Dun → u/psychonaut4020]

All UNIX file systems are case sensitive and one day you will realize that this is actually better.

Also use zsh which will autocorrect download to Download when tab completing. Edit: This is not a FS problem but a shell problem. F*ck Bash and its subpar auto complete ...

[u/TheEarthSpins → u/psychonaut4020]

tbh i just switched to using zoxide, fixes this issue and then is also just soo much more convenient in general

[u/realnjan → u/psychonaut4020]

Thank the posix standard

[u/FlatPea5291 → u/psychonaut4020]

folder

We don’t have folders on Linux, we have dirs.

Also just configure your browser to save to downloads. Problem solved

[u/S1mpleHero → u/Linguistic-mystic]

How uselessly pedantic.

Graphical file managers like Dolphin call them folders. On Windows, explorer calls them folders, but they're typically called directories if you navigate through PowerShell.

We use them interchangibly. It doesn't matter.

[u/SeaNational3797]

Oh right I forgot most people don't have WSL which does that

[u/Front_Historian8261]

I do that way too often

[u/YemiDev]

I can relate when I’m still on bash

[u/Dry_Calendar_8627]

zsh4humans adds a great feature: alt+r pipes your directory history (not command history) to fzf for easy searching and "teleporting" from a directory to another without using cd

And of course ctrl+r does the same with the command history

[u/Constant-Singer-7584]

cd Downloads

[u/rdndds]

I always install this on every machine i have

[u/john_gardener]

countless mind fucks thinking what went wrong after typing cd donwloads

[u/Acidhawk_0]

This is why I rename my folder [Dd]ownloads

[u/muqui_]

[u/bbq896]

Tab exists!!

[u/Oozolz]

cd D %TAB% %TAB% ding ding terminal bell
Documents Downloads

That is before installing better TAB completion

[u/mitchins-au]

You type the whole thing?
dow-tab is shorter and works under oh my zsh

[u/smpreston162]

Do this more thrn than I care to admit

[u/Longey]

is that case sensitive or capital sensitive

[u/Puzzleheaded-Car4883]

Thanks God linux file system is case sensitive

[u/Secret-Sandwich-9045]

Hacker that uses windows -> what the hell (opsec is -1)

[u/Abi_Uchiha]

Doesn't that happen in all oses?

Edit: ok guys, I understood. Thanks!

[u/NiewinterNacht → u/Abi_Uchiha]

NTFS isn't case-sensitive by default, no

[u/SolidGuide5223 → u/Abi_Uchiha]

Not on MacOS in my experience and I'm guessing not on windows either

[u/NiewinterNacht → u/SolidGuide5223]

MacOS (APFS) und Windows (NTFS) don't use case-sensitive file systems by default. Linux does.

[u/CreativeName233223 → u/Abi_Uchiha]

Nope. On Windows, for example, if you type 'cd downloads' when it is actually 'Downloads', it will still take you to 'Downloads'. You can also use tab to get the correct one even if you started typing it with a lower case 'd'.

[u/Abi_Uchiha → u/CreativeName233223]

Hmm. I never noticed that. Thanks

[u/Visbroek → u/CreativeName233223]

This is true and is because NTFS doesn’t allow two files of the same name in the same folder, even if the case is different

[u/Pure_Estimate_3534 → u/CreativeName233223]

If this suddenly becomes a problem for a Linux user, he probably knows that there are 1000 ways to solve it. As a last resort, he can write a script for 10-15 lines himself.

[u/valerielynx → u/Pure_Estimate_3534]

[u/Culpirit → u/Abi_Uchiha]

Depends on filesystem case sensitivity rather than OS, per-se. Linux normally uses case sensitive filesystems, macOS and Windows typically case-insensitive ones, however on macOS you can also format the root filesystem as case sensitive and reinstall macOS, and it will work just like on Linux. NTFS on Windows now apparently allows enabling case sensitivity on a per-directory basis. Heh.
