this is just low quality content trying to grab a few clicks. it should be removed.
- That website has always been like this. They occasionally publish articles and I sometimes visit them for curiosity but more often than not, many articles are sheer garbage.
  Oh, it seems like they also started their own membership thing. Wow!
- I didnt know about Explainshell before this post and it looks like an excellent site to share with some of the greener Linux sysadmins on my team at work. I've just set a reminder to share it Monday morning
IMO:
Arch Wiki
Gentoo Wiki
Your distro's wiki
Your DE/WM's wiki
Documentation, bug tracker, etc. of things that you use on a regular basis
Some people's who use similar things to you dotfiles
- Yeah but which only fans pages should I follow as a Linux user
Imagine recommended reddit on "itsfoss".
-1 for recommending r/Linux
+1 for recommending DistroWatch
No.
- People who like to have a fresh start when opening the browser
Add in regexr as well
- regex101 also excellent
- Totally fair, and largely what I use it for, but it's also helpful in the term at times to just get out a weird regex for a weirder file operation you don't want to dork
'should have' -- but didn't? What happened then?
- I had that moment too but I think this is actually intended as "should keep bookmarked".
  
  Yeah, I'm sure that was the intention; but the wording is off, so I wanted to take a little jibe at it.
- It's prefectly reasonable to say "I have that site bookmarked".
  Then go to "I should have that site bookmarked".
  "I'll check on that one site I should have bookmarked"
  Etc.
But I didn't bookmark them, so where do we go from here? The judgy tone isn't helping.
- The intro is a little less proscriptive: “ Here's the list of my favorite Linux websites. Perhaps you'll like them too.”
- Are you getting offended from a listicle title?
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk has some decent new and app update news here and there, and other generalized release news for various other distros aside from Ubuntu.
at least they don't toot their own horn
I highly recommend LWN.net.
