Another Linux lie: we have a shell

Truth is, you kind of do, to a degree. Or genius is as genius does, always as a degenerate.

# cd /
/# cd ~
~# pwd
/root
~# cd /
/# ls /root
'a b'
/# cd "~/a b"
-bash: cd: ~/a b: No such file or directory

Huh? You are unwilling to resolve the home directory tilde short-hand when it is wrapped in double quotes? How else are we supposed to use directories with spaces under the home directory then? Ah, this thought has never occurred to you, terminally genius ivory tower dwellers? How typical of you!
