I highly recommend LWN.net.

at least they don’t toot their own horn

Ubuntu blog? GamingOnLinux? Reddit? 🤣 no, thanks. No Ubuntu, I don’t play games, I don’t like Reddit. The other websites I already do unless Explainshell which seems cool for newbies.

I didnt know about Explainshell before this post and it looks like an excellent site to share with some of the greener Linux sysadmins on my team at work. I’ve just set a reminder to share it Monday morning

SNFi, 7 months ago

It’s worth to read the post just to discover this. 😆 Explainshell look good enough to be used not only by newbies, very good hints and explanation with manpages.

‘should have’ – but didn’t? What happened then?

Deconceptualist, 7 months ago

I had that moment too but I think this is actually intended as “should keep bookmarked”.

walthervonstolzing, 7 months ago

Yeah, I’m sure that was the intention; but the wording is off, so I wanted to take a little jibe at it.

ISometimesAdmin, 7 months ago

It's prefectly reasonable to say "I have that site bookmarked".

Then go to "I should have that site bookmarked".

"I'll check on that one site I should have bookmarked"

Etc.

Imagine recommended reddit on “itsfoss”.

Who even uses bookmarks anymore?
Just keep your tabs open.

FQQD, 7 months ago

People who like to have a fresh start when opening the browser

beta_tester, 7 months ago

Wtf Bookmarks are the futute, old man.

IMO:

• Arch Wiki
• Gentoo Wiki
• Your distro’s wiki
• Your DE/WM’s wiki
• Documentation, bug tracker, etc. of things that you use on a regular basis
• Some people’s who use similar things to you dotfiles

Yeah but which only fans pages should I follow as a Linux user

ivanafterall, 7 months ago

But I didn't bookmark them, so where do we go from here? The judgy tone isn't helping.

The intro is a little less proscriptive: “ Here's the list of my favorite Linux websites. Perhaps you'll like them too.”

Are you getting offended from a listicle title?

sir_reginald, 7 months ago

this is just low quality content trying to grab a few clicks. it should be removed.

metaStatic, 7 months ago

with Anita in the thumbnail I'd be surprised if it gets double digit clicks

kirk781, 7 months ago

That website has always been like this. They occasionally publish articles and I sometimes visit them for curiosity but more often than not, many articles are sheer garbage.

Oh, it seems like they also started their own membership thing. Wow!

_cnt0, 7 months ago

No.

-1 for recommending r/Linux

+1 for recommending DistroWatch

two_wheel2, 7 months ago

Add in regexr as well

Kata1yst, 7 months ago

regex101 also excellent

SNFi, 7 months ago

That’s a cool website, but maybe more for programmers or hackers (I don’t mean evil people, just people that likes to use scripts).

two_wheel2, 7 months ago

Totally fair, and largely what I use it for, but it’s also helpful in the term at times to just get out a weird regex for a weirder file operation you don’t want to dork

SNFi, 7 months ago

Yeah right, it’s worth to learn regex for those moments when you need to rename many files with weird and unstructured names.

www.omgubuntu.co.uk has some decent new and app update news here and there, and other generalized release news for various other distros aside from Ubuntu.
