From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Do you mount an embedded Linux file system to the workstation and use your host scripts or do you SSH/SCP and deal with the limited shell commands? (lemmy.world)

I'm playing with a couple of routers and comparing proprietary to open source on the same hardware. I miss my .bashrc functions and aliases... and compgen, tree, manpages, detailed help, etc; the little things that get annoying when they are missing.

I was thinking about trying to mount the embedded system on my workstation (while it is running?), but I'm not clear how this would work in practice with permissions, users, groups, root, etc. I'm curious how others do this kind of development/screwing around, or if this is a crazy idea.

People with PhDs in Vim will laugh at this, but I sometimes connect to remote systems through VS Code SSH connections when I'm working on a project with multiple files on a remote system.

I've used mirror.vim for this. Pretty much similar UX as remote workspaces. Forone off editing, you can do vim ssh://remote/<abs or ~ location>

Sometimes, VS Code-ium is piss poor especially over bad connections but otherwise the remote management is quite awesome

And ofc, there's emacs with TRAMP mode
