You know those awesome crunchy, sharp rices, with incredible tasty sauces, so tasty you can feel the intensity of its greatness inside your soul? Well, although I do like rice, I'm not actually talking about this. I'm here to lead you to the sagred palace of unix ricing, the supreme art of transforming your trivial computer system into a powerful, useful and beautiful place of work.
First of all, I have some considerations here. This is a book on how to understand the parts of your system, and make use of them to customize it the way you please. Another thing is: you won't find about GUIs anywhere in here. That's primarily because GUIs aren't standardized or equal on all systems. Terminals are, however, and it's a fair reason for me to only take CLIs (Command Line Interface) and TUI (Terminal User Interface) into account.
Don't be afraid of the terminal, my little reptile dragonfly. This book will teach you the wisdom of unix systems, no knowledge is wasteful. Although I believe GUIs are important to a lot of people, using the terminal might be a good experience for those who opt out of using it. You'll understand why we use it so much. One of the reasons was said already, but for clarity: it's a standardized place on all systems; if it is POSIX compliant, then I can use my knowledge everywhere, no matter what distribution or unix-like variant I'm using. I don't rely on GUIs, and that's a good thing, fairly because I can perform the same work, using the tools I'm already used to, on any system.
And this is one of the reasons ricing becomes sort of a common work. Mainly, the same files and tools I'm using in the book, will be the same ones you are going to use. Isn't that great?
I don't have a summary yet, but I'll provide one once this book gets some more pages.
I hadn't thought of profiting from it, but someone asked me if there was any way people could donate if they wanted to. So if you're feeling quite kind today, you may donate to this bitcoin wallet:
