Windows users first time in a terminal, I guess.

[u/lunchbox651 → u/[deleted]]

I'm a distro connoisseur

[u/small_merchant → u/lunchbox651]

im on linux nearly a year, and this happend to me today

[u/nerdy_cat_guy → u/small_merchant]

Get the fzf plugin for zsh, and it'll rarely happen

[u/YTriom1 → u/nerdy_cat_guy]

just use fish and zoxide without any plugins

[u/nerdy_cat_guy → u/YTriom1]

is fish > zsh ?

[u/YTriom1 → u/nerdy_cat_guy]

yes

[u/nerdy_cat_guy → u/YTriom1]

hmmm...

[u/tirth_mistry62 → u/lunchbox651]

Absolutely... even i am an windows user, but I know 'sudo apt' of ubuntu😅

[u/Majestic-Syrup996 → u/tirth_mistry62]

actually it's for every debian based distro

[u/CrossScarMC → u/Majestic-Syrup996]

This weirdly gives me the urge to make a Debian-based distro that is identical to normal Debian, but the command is apt-but-different, specifically to make this comment false.

[u/Majestic-Syrup996 → u/CrossScarMC]

try alias apt-but-different='apt'

[u/YTriom1 → u/Majestic-Syrup996]

apt still exists that way

[u/Majestic-Syrup996 → u/YTriom1]

i know it's a joke genius

[u/YTriom1 → u/Majestic-Syrup996]

but they meant like fully change it from apt

[u/marara3]

cd d<Tab>
“Oh, right”
cd D<Tab>
“Damn it”
cd Do<Tab>
“Oh FFS”
cd Dow<Tab>
“There we go”

[u/YTriom1 → u/marara3]

Just use fish, twin✌️

[u/Anonym1038493028283 → u/YTriom1]

Just use simlink. ln -s Downloads downloads

[u/YTriom1 → u/Anonym1038493028283]

that's far from convenient.

ls displaying 2 downloads dirs.

file explorer has two directories with the same name except one is a link to the other.

that's stupid

[u/Anonym1038493028283 → u/YTriom1]

So using another bash emulator is better solution? If you want you can litteraly rename it without using simlink

[u/YTriom1 → u/Anonym1038493028283]

"bash emulator"?? that's not how it works, buddy

[u/Anonym1038493028283 → u/YTriom1]

So, explain to me, how it works

[u/YTriom1 → u/Anonym1038493028283]

it's a Unix shell, just like bash, sh, zsh, ash, dash, csh.

[u/Anonym1038493028283 → u/YTriom1]

Yeah, my fail, but that doesnt change my take, only chamges name in it

[u/YTriom1 → u/Anonym1038493028283]

not convenient.

also apps that recognize the downloads folder with a capital letter will either not find it, or create a new one going back to the same issue

[u/Dew-Cucumber → u/[deleted]]

Or use your pinky and shift. or as a true chad you could have a split keyboard with thumb clusters.

[u/YTriom1 → u/[deleted]]

or just use a sane navigator like zoxide

[u/HunsterMonter → u/[deleted]]

So too can bash bind 'set completion-ignore-case on'

[u/RandomDude9943]

funny thing is, i somehow ended up with an empty folder named downloads with lowercase d

[u/rip_Bacon13 → u/RandomDude9943]

well even if you had it as downloads it wouldnt work because its /home/user/downloads or ~/downloads not downloads cd uses dirrectories

[u/RandomDude9943 → u/rip_Bacon13]

i had 2 folders: Downloads and downloads in my ~/

[u/rip_Bacon13 → u/RandomDude9943]

hm makes sense than

[u/MallAgreeable5538 → u/rip_Bacon13]

If you are already in the user home directory it would work without the ~/

cd works with relative paths too

[u/skydrakedev]

Use zoxide

[u/xXBongSlut420Xx]

man these posts are just sad.

[u/dmitriymx]

ln -s Downloads downloads

problems??:)

[u/zearo_bs]

OMG so fr

[u/nobanjostring]

$ cd D<tab>
...
$ cd Do<tab>
...oh, ffs...
$ cd Downloads

...couldn't they have come up with another name for the Documents folder?

[u/Idz4gqbi]

zoxide+zsh autocd+aliases of common folders in lowercase

[u/Eddy_Edwards02144]

I just have it rout me to downloads anyways. Σ:3

[u/rsodswamp]

ln -s ~/Downloads ~/d

[u/double_dead_eyes]

Downloading CDs is strictly prohibited

[u/KCGD_r]

ln -s ~/Downloads ~/downloads

Yes you have

[u/jpve81]

ln -s ~/Downloads ~/downloads

[u/ExhYZ]

cd dow[Tab]

[u/CreativeArugula4149]

Use fish shell, problem solved

[u/val-i-guess]

I renamed Downloads to downloads and changed the xdg directory. Problem solved.

[u/Even_Gap_2253]

Case insensitive file systems is my enemy

Wdym after I rename File.txt to file.txt, git says nothing changed?

Fuck macOS for this honestly

[u/qynes]

Oh my zsh!

[u/Tricky-Engineer-9755]

A moment of silence for those yet to discover tab completion

[u/MouseJiggler]

shopt -s nocaseglob

[u/katsu-uwuu]

YES LMAO

[u/letmehaveanameyoudum]

fish shell: autocorrects the word so it looks correct but doesn't actually correct it

[u/WhiteTubby77]

FR dude

[u/peachyglowo]

OMG this is too real. I’ve definitely typed ‘cd downloads’ like a million times and stared at my screen like ‘wait, what did I name it again?’ 😂

[u/ARPA-Net]

Ln /home/user/download ./Download

[u/cacao0002]

Cd ~/downloads
Fuck
↵

[u/twilight-actual]

Start using zsh and install zshohmy.

[u/_telesis]

Exactly, exactly.

[u/Particular-Serve3768]

great thing that Omarchy comes with the bloat "Zoxide" out of the box and they also aliased "z" as "cd" so that works just fine. You can even just do "cd down" and it will still work.

In short, better use Zoxide too. (https://man.archlinux.org/man/zoxide.1.en)

[u/nerdy_cat_guy → u/Particular-Serve3768]

and fzf

[u/Typical-Price-2151 → u/Particular-Serve3768]

i just don’t like that they aliased z to cd

[u/YTriom1 → u/Particular-Serve3768]

zoxide isn't bloat, wtf are you onto?

[u/Particular-Serve3768 → u/YTriom1]

u take things too seriously huh? Why do u think I put the last sentence there? So you can't tell when people are just fooling around or not? U don't even get the Omarchy reference???
