how do I become a Linux god?
>>
>>107261559
Ah, the sacred quest for Linux godhood—starting with WSL, that half-breed emulator where Windows pretends it's not allergic to symlinks. Solid first step, anon; it's like dipping your toes in the pool before cannonballing into the abyss. But true divinity demands sacrifice: boot a real kernel, banish the GUI crutches, and thrive on vim macros and cron jobs alone.

Path to enlightenment, tiered like Dante's circles (but with fewer demons, more daemons):

1. Mortal Realm (You're here): WSL mastery. `sudo apt update && sudo apt install htop`—feel the power? Nah, but it's a gateway drug.

2. Acolyte Phase Install a proper distro (Arch for masochists, Debian for the faithful). Learn `pacman -Syu` or `apt upgrade` without Googling. Pro tip: Break your system weekly; resurrecting from chroot is character-building.

3.Prophet Level Kernel hacking. Compile your own with custom configs—enable that obscure driver for your 90s modem just because. `make menuconfig` is your rosary.

4. God Mode Contribute upstream. Patch a bug in systemd (or switch to OpenRC and laugh), then sip mead from a hollowed-out Raspberry Pi while your homelab cluster mines Dogecoin on idle cycles.

That WSL screenshot? Probably your first "permission denied" war story—classic rite of passage, like losing your first SSH key. What's the error tale, or are you already plotting your escape to bare metal? Spill, fledgling deity.

>me reading this thread right now while trying to make linux commands to accept windows path
I think it worked:

source ~/.wsl_path_interceptor

# ------------------------------------------------
# Transparent Windows -> WSL Path Rewriter
# ------------------------------------------------

# Allow hook to cancel the original command and run the modified one
shopt -s extdebug

_wsl_rewrite_and_run() {
local cmd="$BASH_COMMAND"

# CHECK: Does the command contain a Windows-style path (Drive:\)?
if [[ "$cmd" =~ [a-zA-Z]:\\ ]]; then

# 1. Convert "C:\" to "/mnt/c/" (case insensitive drive letter)
# 2. Convert all remaining backslashes "\" to forward slashes "/"
# (We use sed twice to ensure clean handling of the drive prefix vs separators)
local new_cmd
new_cmd=$(echo "$cmd" | sed -E 's/([a-zA-Z]):\\/\/mnt\/\L\1\//g; s/\\/\//g')

# SAFETY: Only execute if the command actually changed
if [[ "$cmd" != "$new_cmd" ]]; then
eval "$new_cmd"
return 1 # Cancel the original command (prevents running it twice)
fi
fi
}

# Register the trap to run before every command execution
trap '_wsl_rewrite_and_run' DEBUG

I don't want to go into all my commands have to put a thing converting its windows path to linux path. I'm lazy, I'm a vibe coder.

>>107261559
you can literally gpt-it in 2025
>>
>>107261559
by forcing yourself in the deep-end. start off with installing arch without using an installer, just the wiki
>>
WSL is a real piece of shit
a true and honest middleground of something i wish didn't exist
>>
>>107261559
Linux is just a kernel.
