@lizardsquid @shekkiesqueaks@computerfairi.es I'm curious, what is a ps1 variable?

@Felthry @shekkiesqueaks it's a variable in the bash command line, you can edit it to change what the prompt (the bit before you enter the command) looks like

@lizardsquid @shekkiesqueaks@computerfairi.es oh okay

everyone here knows far more details about computers than I do.

about the most complicated thing I know how to do is to exit vim and maybe look up what my mac address is
