  • Back in the day, that’s what I did ALOT on Windows. Specially because of piracy and my younger me having no idea what he was doing XD !

    Still happens on Linux with EndeavourOS but not for the same reasons ! There are millions times more ways to break stuff on Linux but I always learn Something new during the process.

    Story time:

    Learned the other day that some config files are loaded in a specific order and depending what display manager is installed. That was kinda eye opening to understand cause my system didn’t load .profile when .bash_profile was present and I didn’t understood why ! Thanks Archwiki !

    While I do agree with the general sentiment to rewire your expectation when switching from Windows -> Linux, I do not agree with the following statement:

    Linux is NOT for you, your personality precludes you from using it.

    Linux is for everyone… Though I do also agree if you’re doing something wrong (and you will…) Don’t cry or reflect your frustration on your OS. If there are 1000 ways to break Windows, there are a million times more ways to break your GNU/Linux OS. But most of the time, you’re a doing something wrong. However, sometimes an upstream update can Bork your system… (Yeah this happens 🤷‍♂️).

    Sorry you getting down voted this much ! Your account is relatively new so I assume it’s your first time on Lemmy.

    While this is a relatively innocent question, Lemmy user base is mostly arround open source, alternatives, degoogling…

    Your question would probably be better in Apple/iPhone community rather in a more “global” community like asklemmy.

    Hope you will still enjoy your stay :)

    Edit: Also read the community info rules !


  • Is that even possible? I’m already in panic when I remove a package and it’s dependencies with pacman 😅.

    Sure I did replaced Thunar with Nemo, but a few things don’t work exactly how it should, like opening the download directory from Firefox (Known issue BTW) even though all mime-types are correctly set !

    Even switching from Alternative -> Base distro seems like a really difficult task :/
