   I’m a total #Linux newbie but reading the list of accepted stands at #fosdem2025 is getting me sooo excited about attending: https://fosdem.org/2025/news/2024-11-16-stands-announced/

   I hear talks at #FOSDEM make it feel like a 2 week conference packed in two days. I can’t wait to see the program.

   This will be the first IRL conference I will attend since Women of the World in London (early March 2020). Then the world shut down. And then I had a baby (who’s now almost 4).

   I’ve got 40 min to study Linux before she wakes up 😅

     @_elena Here's another one.

     Supposing you've just downloaded a file, got an output from a programme or summat.

     ls -ltr

     There "l" does what you already know.
     The "t" orders the list in time (created or last modified), and the "r" puts the list in reverse order so the last saved file is there at the foot of he list, conveniently just above your prompt.

     I use this a lot, it's so "baked in" to my fingers over so many years that I type it without thinking about it.

     New superpower: unlocked ✨

     I now understand what this means: drwxr-xr-x

     (it’s a small thing, but it feels super empowering)

     @juandesant @ecadre @_elena add -F to get an indicator of file type, e.g.:

     % ls -F
     foo/ help@ hlp.sh* xf.txt

     / for dirs, * for executables, @ for symlinks

     @ecadre @_elena +1!

     I just add ˋ-a` to find out potentially new or updated hidden files or folders:

     `la -lart ~`

     never been to fosdem, but I hear it's great. I hope you enjoy it!
     
     what got you interested in kernels?
     
     are you more interested in the kernel Linux running underneath Android or GNU?
