In most scripting scenarios your bottlenecks are going to be disk access and networking
In the vast majority of real cases for me, a program that starts out as an ad-hoc shell script, when the amount of data it needs to process grows and the script is no longer just a centipede of 3 processes with their stdin and stdout connected, ends up getting written in C to eliminate the overhead from constant subprocess spawning and cleaning, not to increase networking speed or disk access speed.

What is it with Linux users always needing affirmation of their OS' superiority from news article reading sloptubers with shitty beards? At this point it's basically a trend and it's getting really homosexual.

I resent that! Kenny at least has the decency to cook stuff and do shit IRL. Brodie sucks flaccid tranny cock like the faggot he is! Put some respect on Kenny's name, damn it.
 
This is gonna sound retarded but are there good resources for finding stuff to do on Linux with an i686 laptop
It runs antix fine but now I need to find stuff to do with it
 
If it works for you that's good. Personally I hated it and really think people should stop recommending it as the "intro to linux" distro
Why do you hated it? I always recommend mint to beginners because "it just works" and parts that don't won't work out of box, google it's almost get the answer and if the person can't bother to search and read some post IMO linux isn't for the person.

As a general rule: all the i686 applications that antiX, a Debian rebuild, has would be in the repositories. If antiX has a software manager or a software store of some type, you can just start searching and away you go.

Hate was maybe a strong word it just felt like cinnamon was a big step down from windows or a KDE distro. the start menu was ultimately what ruined it for me not having a hibernate button and the lack of a favourites/most used/pinned list was just kinda gay. sure you can probably tweak it to be good but that's not exactly noob friendly imo
 
I'm actually curious to see your Bash version that uses grep. Or would you abandon grep for this?
Honestly I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish with your three element version. Just group results in sets of three? The way it's written, it looks like it'll write the first three elements to the file as many times as it finds matches.
 
Linux Mint is the best distro for beginners, shut up about DE choice
Then you're not really demonstrating any real comparison to Powershell
It's pretty easy to understand

People dislike powershell because it's too different. It's only human they're disgusted by that. They're not going to go ahead and learn entirely new syntax just because of features.

Someone who even knows what a shell is will likely be using linux shells. Is it superior in term of features? Sure, but those superior features are just not needed for the vast majority of use cases. The syntax doesn't even match the languages shell users know either, be them shell or programming langs.

Oh but I can find text in a file super quick even if I have 10,000,000 files while catching errors. It doesn't matter. If someone using a linux shell genuinely needs that speed they'll use C or idk python.

Powershell is more powerful, has more features, but that's not necessarily better depending on what you want. It's not a traditional shell where you glue stuff together. PS itself does many of the stuff different software handles in Linux. If you need an all in one solution, you go for an actual programming language
 
Mint is good because I genuinely dont even think "i am using linux". It just works. I think alot of people spend too much time being fags about what os they use though. Just use what you like.

Anyhow. I was having random issues with my gpu randomly crashing and freezing my pc. Didn't know what the hell I did wrong (I probably did something). Did a timeshift restore and its gg back to normal. That software is a godsend
 
YOU FUCKING WOT CUNT
Code:
function addInts {
        param([int]$num1, [int]$num2)
        $result = $num1 + $num2;
        return $result;
        }

addInts 4 5;
Sure seems to work to me.

what does this return?

Code:
function getfile(){
    $location = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
    $location.initialDirectory = $initialDirectory
    $location.filter = "CSV (*.csv)| *.csv"
    $location.ShowDialog()
    return $location.FileName
}

getfile
