Having maintained Linux systems for over a decade, I instantly distrust anyone who claims they understand Linux regardless of what they say next.

ls /var/lib > reply.txt

lib*

There ma, I did it ☺️.

systemd

No libs on my system, only leftists allowed 😤😤😤

Pfff easy lib@, lib32@, lib64@, libx32@

$ sudo tree /lib /lib64

$ locate -r '\.so$' | wc -l
4468
$ locate -r '/lib[^/]*\.so$' | wc -l
2488

We’re going to be here a while.

Ha jokes on you! I just accidently deleted my bootloader!

Why is Lib capitalized when Linux is case sensitive and Lib files aren’t a thing?

Nice try, FBI

Name em?

find / -type f -perm -a=x -exec ldd {} 2>/dev/null \;

ls -R /

there they are. and some other stuff too.

Reminds me of an interview i was in. I was like, this isn’t even in my job description… 7 interviews later. Come to find out, they were HAND DEPLOYING Linux servers to try to scale for double of their user base. I feel like I dodged a bullet.
