That's it! Let me know how you like it. It's my first foray into writing books. Walking the line between utility and breadth is tough.

- TeMPOraL 8y agoBought it! I'll shoot you an e-mail with my thoughts once I'm through.
- fouc 8y agoHopefully you change the recommended tools based on the OS. (i.e. OSX would be slightly different from linux for certain commands). And focus on doing as much as possible from the command line?
- acidburnNSA 8y agoI tried to highlight examples that are available on Mac, Linux, and Windows through the package managers, (homebrew, apt, chocolatey) and at least provided system-specific installation lines for each based on those. It is highly command-line and pure-text centric.
- fstarship 8y agoAs a computer Science graduate with no experience doing images that section alone was worth getting the book for me. I plan on using at as encyclopaedia for future uses. I am happy you had compatibility in mind as I am not super fussed on which operating system I use. I would suggest adding a virtual desktop section as that has been the biggest gamechanger for me ( I use windows 10s with virtual desktop enhancer) I dont know any linux or mac equilivants though.
- acidburnNSA 8y agoGlad that was useful, thanks for saying so! Great idea on virtual desktops.
- jayjader 8y agoI'm pretty confident in claiming macOS and many Linux desktop environments natively support virtual desktops. It's really only Windows that doesn't.
