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.

What are the various ways to effectively bash alias stuff in a web browser? (lemmy.world)

I'm curious about redirecting my Lemmy instance from https://lemmy.world/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/New/page/1 to ../0 so that it stops scrolling. Another example; in the past I wanted a way to redirect www•reddit to old•reddit. I do stuff like this in a bash terminal all the time with terminal commands. What are the easiest techniques to achieve similar results in browsers? Obviously I'm asking for the same abstract functionality as a bash alias. I'm not thinking bash works in a browser or anything dumb like that.

Like others, I love Endeavor OS which is installed on my laptops. On my desktop I rotate between Endeavor OS, ArcoLInux, Manjaro (unstable branch), Debian (sid/unstable branch), and MX Linux Beta, all of which are solid (Syncthing to sync data between installs). All are KDE with the exception of Manjaro which is XFCE for nostalgia sake. KDEConnect for phone integration is one of my favorite features of KDE. I used to try and use Gnome which is usable with a lot of plugins, but I just don't like it (it does have phone integration based on KDEConnect). I try a lot of distributions, and many do have issues and how I've arrived at my five favorites. I've come to like rolling releases with newer software, and it's not an issue if you keep an eye on the forums. Once on my laptop an errant Arch GRUB update I missed caused me to have to use chroot with thumb drive, but not a big deal.
