  • Neato. I have a strategy now for messing around.

  • I am having so much fun reading things. Makes me feel better about my disaster, but my mistake does not touch most of these.

    On a real life related note, I surprised everyone around me when I managed to overturn a ski jet, which apparently doesn't really happen. I too can do the improbable. Hah.

  • Do you need to pin the last working ostree before rebasing? I guess I want an easy way to switch between working environments without a lot of rebasing.

  • Ah, thank you for the write up. I will actually do that because KDE something I know I will like and enjoy more than GNOME once I get past some of the weirdness. Mostly, I want to customize it in certain ways, and while GNOME surely is customizable, it is not as easy as KDE.

    Yeah, rebasing feels like some scifi future tech and I am ready to play. It is like resleeving ala Altered Carbon.

  • Why are we stuck with bash programming language in the shell?

  • I know I am reviving an old thread, but my philosophy is that posts are timeless and age should not be a reason not to respond.

    Currently I am in the project of learning Rust and Raku, because I am interested in becoming a better systems programmer and I want to be able to do things for my computer without hitting a wall when a solution does not exist, or simply to master my second home.

    This is a mindset issue. There is a lot of legacy opinions on how to use your computer, but never forget it is YOUR computer. I say never worry about something being portable to others. What you make will be portable to you, and that is all that matters. Make your computer yours. If someone wants to use your computer but can't, isn't that a win?

  • Oh, I am on Fedora Silverblue with Gnome. If it is easy to switch, I think I will give KDE a try!

    I like Gnome, and I definitely need to tweak some behavior I find annoying, but I feel I never gave KDE a proper chance because I seem to mess up the panel whenever I look at it wrong, and have no idea how to get back to default.

  • Lucky me most of the important stuff are things I have on another computer, or can redownload from email or whatever service that needed it.

    But my new passwords.... oh well. Recovery is typically easy.

    What sucks is losing things you did not know you would need or miss until much later.

  • DEs get so wonky if you try to change them. I wish it was easier to compartmentalize an envirionment.

  • Hah. That was my strategy, but manually.

    I need to learn backup tools proper.

    Of course, it happens when your data is at its most valuable.

  • Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?

    Jump

  • Yes. I think I am closer to data paranoia... I need a system.

    That sounds nice. Not having a system that becomes terminally broken after a bad decision.

  • You are right. I was happy with linux mint, and before that MX Linux. This is all just bike shedding. I spend a lot of time setting things up Hell, I spend too much time just downloading crap because I have not bothered to make a script that would automate installation of the apps I use.

    Yeah, I think I will.

  • Ah. I was in theater tech. No shame to find anywhere.

  • Neat. I will try that once photorec finishes its search in like a month from now.

  • I feel like I have done that too, but long time ago. I always got confused with dual booting. I get weird trying to calculate how much to space to give each partition.

    Making partitions by hand is a pain though.

  • What is kind of funny is that my computer has the SSD for system and home, and I only ever used the storage to copy over files from my home. I also have a little 1TB SSD That I could have used as an offline backup... but didn't do that. I had the tools, just never thought to do it. I will look into a NAS, that would be nifty. Can't bork that with a new install.

  • Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?

    Jump

  • I will! These programs are amazing.

  • Nice! I need to learn recovery methods. I am so used to scorch earthing an install when it goes wrong, which is not useful.

  • Honestly a thesis is way higher stakes and value. Yeah, imagine thinking there was an emergency only to find out your roommate will need to spend the rest of the semester using their imagination.
