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.

Whats your go-to naming convention? (slrpnk.net)

As far as I know there are these;

Camel case = coolFileName
Snake case = cool_file_name
Kebab case = cool-file-name
Pascal case = CoolFileName
Dot notation = cool.file.name
Flat case = coolfilename
Screaming case = COOLFILENAME

Personally I prefer the kebab/dot conventions simply because they allow for easy "navigation" with (ctrl+arrow keys) between each part. What are your preferences when it comes to this? Did I miss any schemes?

I do the flatcase in my machines too, but it stopped being such big a nuisance to me when I moved to ZSH - it can autocomplete case-insensitively.

Is zsh a terminal or a language like bash? I don't get what it is from reading descriptions

Zsh is a shell like bash that supports shell scripting like bash (though with some syntactical differences). It's a bit more like ksh than bash, but anyone familiar with bash will have no problems with zsh.

You can check out oh-my-zsh for an accessible preconfigured version of it (though I'd suggest installing via your package manager rather than the script on their website). I like the jreese theme.
