  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

    I was going to post exactly that, lol

    No, that's a specific number.

    69 -> nice.

    I referenced an overused, childish joke.

    it runs the date command once per second until you hit ctrl+c

    man watch

    Nice command! Thanks!

    -d if you're feeling sporty.

    [–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    If we're adding dramatic flourish, I'll suggest watch -n 1 'date | cowsay'

    Slightly unrelated but cygwin will run better on windows (its way lighter)

    [–] gornius@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Better in which way? WSL2 is a VM running ALONGSIDE Windows, not inside. Its performance is basically bare metal. If you have enough RAM, there is no reason to use cygwin instead of WSL2.

    [–] Picture_Pig@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    its complicated please dont blame me for WSL

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    In that case why don't you just run a VM or install bare metal. WSL strips you of control just like Windows itself does.

    [–] Picture_Pig@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    its complicated as i replied to someone else's comment...

    im not a "it just works" user too but its complicated to explain why i use windows for now (but ill switich soon)

    like im totally a FOSS enthusiast but like...

    [–] azerial@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    AHHHH "Has ptsd flashbacks from having to use Cygwin on a mixed build environment for a popular MMO that's about some kind of war up in the stars.." lol NOT THE CYGDRIVE lol jk but it did take me back ~5 years.

    [–] Picture_Pig@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    i try to understand that...

    [–] lapingvino@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Best option is still Git Bash πŸ™ƒ

    [–] Picture_Pig@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

    most true :3

    [–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

    Yep, that's what I use as well... in Windows I mean.

    [–] QuaternionsRock@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Can Cygwin run Linux GUI programs effectively? What about GPU-bound workloads? Would happily switch if the answer to both of those is yes.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    You can run GUI apps but I'm not sure about GPU workloads. Wouldn't bare metal be the best for that?

    [–] QuaternionsRock@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Wouldn't bare metal be the best for that?

    Technically yes, but WSL2 is remarkably close to optimal in terms of throughput. Unlike WSL1 (a type 2 hypervisor), WSL2 requires Hyper-V (a type 1 hypervisor), meaning Windows also runs as a VM once it’s enabled. The Linux vGPU driver still needs to go through the Windows Nvidia driver as far as I know, but that is seldom the bottleneck for CUDA applications.

    [–] Picture_Pig@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    true it uses a Microsoft Hypervisor Virtual Machine

    [–] Picture_Pig@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    i dont mind the GUI... but is Cygwin open source? just knowing

    [–] superbirra@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

    while :; do date; sleep 1; done

    [–] Picture_Pig@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    thanks this is more like c syntax tho its bash im learning c btw :3

    [–] superbirra@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    it's posix shell, also it produces an output similar to your post unlike watch, which everyone is rushing to point out as if it were the ultimate superninja haxxor secret tool that nobody knows about :DDD
