/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

Welcome to /fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.

Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share their experiences.

*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread ***

Before asking for help, please check our list of resources.

If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine.
1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

Resources: just like in /sqt/ spend at least a minute to check a web search engine with your question.
*Search: qwant, searx, ixquick or startpage.
*Many free software have active mailing lists.
*Many free software has an active bugzilla/github where you can check and report errors

Sorry if it's a dumb question but...

Am I able to put folders in my ~/.local/bin folder or am I only meant to put files?

For example I have a python script in my ~/.local/bin folder and can run it anywhere by typing .py in my console... What I want to know is if I can have python scripts in ~/.local/bin/ and access them? I've tried making a folder, but I seem to only be able to access the scripts if they're in ~/.local/bin

Thanks.

bash looks for executables in your $PATH variable, if you want ~/.local/bin/folder to be search just add it to your $PATH

Don't put scripts in the bin folder.

It's in my home bin folder, I thought that was okay?

Thanks

I put scripts in ~/.bin
faggot

bin is for binary executables only.

Fight me.

What do I install to be able to write to NTFS partitions from Ubuntu? I am able to read them fine, but only that. I'm using 18.04.

watch out folks, we got ourselves a badass over here
