  • You won’t get it here. Everybody will recommend his favorite distro.

    IMHO the best would be to solve your problems in OpenSUSE. This is definitely possible. You really need to switch to another distro only if you feel youself uncomfortable with the release cycle, package management tools or packages present in the repo of your current distro.







  • As I see, you’ve already got an answer how to convert text to lower case. So I just tell you how to replace all occurrences of %20 with -. You need to repeat substitution until no matches found. For such iteration you need to use branching to label. Below is sed script with comments.

    :subst                                        # label
    s/(\[[^]]+\]\([^)]*#[^)]*)%20([^)]*\))/\1-\2/ # replace the first occurrence of `%20` in the URL fragment
    t subst                                       # go to the 'subst' label if the substitution took place
    

    However there are some cases when this script will fail, e. g. if there is an escaped ] character in the link text. You cannot avoid such mistakes using only simple regexps, you need a full featured markdown parser for this.

    There’s one case when you can’t avoid using command line. If you ask someone on Internet to help you, he will say you to type some commands. No window clicking, no screenshots will help. All GUIs are different, but CLI is (almost) always the same, and its output is well searchable. That’s why you see numerous command line listings in each topic discussing problems and could decide it’s impossible to use Linux without coding.


  • In depends on how dumb the user is. If you want to see drive C:\ and don’t want to learn why there’s no such a thing, forget about Linux (and any other OS except the only one you are familiar with). If you are ready to learn new concepts and just don’t want to remember numerous commands, that’s OK, just pick up a distro with advanced DE and graphical admin tools.
