From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hello all, I am brand new to fedora, so Im still learning the ropes. I've been noticing this red number 1 next to the file manager in the dock. Being a debian/ubuntu guy at heart, I don't quite know how to troubleshoot this. Hope you guys can shed some light; pic is below!

Warning: No matter what anyone tells you, do not use any rm command with the -r option and/or any wildcard charachers like * and ?, unless you understand the command fully.

Completely agree although I love rm -r since it's way better than cluttering up my trash folder 😄

Clicking delete while pressing shift should do the same thing in most file managers, just use it with caution

Good to know, thank you

but I heard rm -rf /* made my computer faster. (This is a joke never run this command. (outside of a vm that you are willing to kill))
