What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

and a need to find another PC to flash an archiso to a flash drive ('cause ofc I didn’t have one at the time).

you can do that from your phone using etchdroid

i don’t remember ever breaking my system in a terrible way, but when i started using linux (with linux mint) i uninstalled ca-certificates and i think that uninstalled the whole DE

Yeah, I used Artix and Arch for a while, but I switched to Void a few months ago and I like it better.

You don’t have the features “auto-allocate-uids” and “configurable-impure-env” enabled, so “auto-allocate-uids” and “impure-env” options are ignored in your config.

"Combokeys" instead of hotkeys. [Feature/new command suggestion]

Title. Basically, “if a street fighter gamer and a linux tryhard had a baby” where a combination of keys is issued to run a command/script rather than a single or a simultaneous stroke of two or more. i.e left, down, left, right arrow keys, R_CTRL to run Firefox. Right, right, Up, right arrow keys, delete to power off the...

Key chords/submodes? Not a desktop app, but an Emacs extension, Hydra. There’s also a Neovim version.

I don’t know of a desktop app, personally I like to keep my desktop keybinds simple, so I wouldn’t really need that.

There are two kinds of people:

three birds, GTK and QT getting along, with “Electron” in the background menacingly watching

i thought this was gonna be the meme and forgot for a second what an atom is

So I guess you don’t do a lot of standing up? 😛

Nah, I tell some pretty good jokes

recommendations for lightweight window managers for an old netbook

Hi, I’ve got an old netbook from Samsung that has an old Intel Atom CPU (Intel Atom N455 1.66 GHz). I installed Arch on it and am now thinking of a suitable window manager. I tried Hyprland (kinda expecting it to not work really) whick didn’t start at all. Before I had Debian with Gnome, which technically worked, but...

callyral,

for lightweight, i would recommend LXQt (qt) or LXDE (gtk). XFCE also seems pretty nice.

also, you could check out i3 and bspwm if you a tiling window manager.

i would’ve recommended sway, but it sounds like you didn’t have a very nice experience with hyprland, and that could be because it uses wayland.

I already have a partition layout in btrfs where I have a /home and a /root partition, since when I installed I didn’t know about btrfs subvolumes. I use Void Linux and I think it’s after installation, since I don’t remeber having a subvolumes step during the installation.

I’ll make sure to remind about btrfs subvolumes in case I reinstall. There’s a btrfs program that has a subvolume argument, so I’m guessing that’s what I could use.

i heard about it in a video and immediately went to try it out. i started with linux mint in late 2021!

There’s always a relevant xkcd!

Yeah I didn’t know we were mostly looking at planets in the Milky Way, but it makes sense. Rocky planets are very tiny compared to other stuff in the universe so it’s gotta be hard detecting them millions of light years out.

void linux (glibc) + swayfx + waybar + foot terminal + nushell

callyral,
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

Wait, they didn’t have that before? Heck, even my sway install with Waybar has this.

If you want something Ubuntu-based I’d recommend KDE Neon, last time I tried it, it was great. I don’t think it has snaps since it’s made by KDE.

I have a 512 GB (nvme SSD), with a few games, and I have 423 GB free (according to df after summing up / and /home partitions)

It used to be K Desktop Environment, but it’s called Plasma since KDE became the organization behind KDE Plasma. This is because they make things other than the desktop environment, like apps such as Krita or Kdenlive, which aren’t DE specific.

I have a data compression joke but it got Co!rru.l<ӵ(HucۡVT@u’ptAh2led

i use swayfx and runit

i don’t like systemd because it has a lot of stuff that i don’t think should be built-in, for example, why have systemd timer when cron already exists?

runit is nice for me because it’s simple and i like activating services by just soft-linking files to /var/service instead of using some fancy tool

callyral,
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

i haven’t done that since i installed void linux. for some reason it just always “feels clean” to me

please link to this unixsocks community

ysk (you should know) that i use void linux

Ohhh, I completely forgot iPhones no longer had those. Thanks for the reminder, I’ll remember to check for a headphone jack before buying a new phone.
