It is possible to associate a name to a linux command?

localhost is a domain

yes I tried this but didn’t worked

If you have a reason for it then yeah

It did for me

A) why do you wanna switch
B) why arch
C) is it for daily usage or what exactly you are going to use it for

Answer these so that I can tell you the answer

It will only work in local network

And probably won’t work if you don’t have a WiFi adaptor and you are using like localhost in vm and trying to open in main os

How can I update my bios without installing Windows? Can I do that by running the HP bios update from a windows to go installation on an external SSD?

I added ubuntu in my Vnet and but main problem is I can’t access qdpm

There should be the ability to ‘flash’ your bios with a USB stick with it on it. As well as the way you’re discussing.

I felt pretty unsure doing it directly from wtg so I just used it to flash the bios on a usb stick

As far as I know if you put the ..nevermind you did it right sounds like.

Was it as hard as you were worried about?

usually they’re without incident but occasionally there can be weird issues.

No it was pretty easy

Just like a normal bios update, I just didn’t know how to run it since HP only distributes exe

weird, cool it booted though.

Hello, I have a question (sorry if maybe it will be trivial for you). It is possible to associate a name to a linux command ? For example: if I want to associate the name “example” to the command “ls -l” so whenever I’ll write “example” on the terminal it will return me the output of the “ls -l” command. Thanks.

You can use aliases for that

Edit ~/.bashrc (the .bashrc file in your home directory) and add the following:

alias example=’ls -l’

I thought it was called aliasing but I wasn’t sure how to achieve it.

The next time you open your shell, it’ll have the alias. If you don’t want to open a new shell, run . ~/.bashrc

(that’s a period followed by a space)

What do you mean? Why is it weird?

Wish it was easy to add a ‘color’ to text without a weird command, it’d make stuff like easier to read for sure.

thank you. I think it is exactly what I mean

Just interesting they used a exe instead of a msi.

Oh thought you meant that the fact it booted is weird lmao

I don’t use prebuilts anymore, and I don’t remember the last time I flashed my bios, I know it’s likely updated though as I’m on a 2014 CPU built in 2017 and I’ve flashed since then.

In fact before I flipped from Windows to Linux exclusively I ran a update check which I think included a bios check.

My motherboard maker has those one ‘update’ softwares that lets you download or install the various parts updates yourself if you want.

HP is pretty weird with sending updates, this bios update was from april and I was on windows till like june, I just discovered about this update randomly

I noticed bios updates don’t happen too often anyways, unless there’s a huge security risk/dangerous part/software it tends to languish.

Yeah I updated it just because I thought it would somehow increase the performances but no just security patches, which is still good tho
