Oh god oh damn my kde doesn't tell me that...

Okay I'll give it a whirl:

  • chown: yes, I think
  • cp: no, pretty sure
  • ls: what? Like for a tree? For folder size? Idk I say yes because there's nothing recursive to me about standard ls
  • rsync: literally no clue have never used it but I'd guess no
  • scp: yes pretty confident
  • zip: yes also pretty confident

The actual reason I barely ever find Linux annoying is because my Fedora KDE just does all I need it to pretty much all the time.

    With ls you can list the contents of directories recursively. Or you can list the contents in reverse order. One of them requires a lowercase "r", one requires uppercase, but which is which? It's not such a big deal that different commands have inconsistent syntax, but even having run Linux as my primary OS since 2004, and before that Unix since 1993, I still have to look these up sometimes.
