For me I always used for loops and only recently (after a decade of using Linux daily) have learned about the power of piped-loops. It’s strange to me you are more comfortable with those than for loops, but I think it does make sense as you’re letting a program generate the list to iterate over. A pain point in for loops is getting that right, e.g. there isn’t a good way to iterate over files with spaces in them using a for loop (this is why I learned about piped loops recently.)
My problem was that I had a directory with probably 200+ subdirectories each one, and the files and subdirectories below them, had a couple of spaces in the name. I typically use
for f in ‘ls’;
For operations like that but it was obviously built on windows (but I run steam on Ubuntu) and I never interact with windows so tbh I had never thought of this problem before.
