My first ever distro was EndeavourOS. I installed it when I was 13 or 14 years old because someone on reddit said it’s customizable. I never felt like I need to switch to anything else.
About a week ago in school, my friend told me to remove System32. I told him that I don’t have it on Linux and that I’ll show him how to break Linux. I typed rm -fr / --no-preserve-root, but I was really tired that day, and for some reason, I pressed enter. After a second, I did Ctrl+C, and luckily, it was without sudo, but it still deleted many random files on my system that I’ve had access to.
Once I wanted to ssh into my Raspberry Pi on the local network and accidentally entered my local ip address and SSHed into my own computer, I was SSHing from. I deleted some config files thinking I’m doing it on the Raspberry, but luckily, I haven’t done any big damage. It could have ended much worse, however, because it took almost two hours of confused screaming until I noticed that I’m, in fact, doing all the stuff on my own computer. Don’t have the same username and password on pc and server, guys.

I’m not sure about the exact commands, but you do something like gh auth login to authenticate the CLI and then something like gh ssh setup to change ssh’s config file to authorize using the GH CLI.
Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute
I know about Zellij, but in its current state, I think it doesn’t make sense for me to switch. I really lobe my Tmux setup, and I don’t think I would be able to replicate it on Zellij, mainly because of Tmux plugins I use. I also don’t think that Zellij currently has any advantages over Tmux except for better default config and user friendliness that I don’t need. I’m looking forward to the Zellij ecosystem getting better tho. Some day, I will probably make the switch. The WASM tabs feature looks extremely promising!
The spotify app keeps getting worse by the week. At this point it won’t load my saved song list at all when I’m offline. While writing this, it just crashed in the background....
I have installed Bitwarden through its AppImage, and added a .desktop file to run it easily (and also to use a themed icon). Unfortunately, each time an update comes out, I need to manually update the file since it points directly to the older version...
I tried AM some time ago, and I was extremely confused about the documentation and how to use it. I even watched a YouTube video from DistroTube on how to use it, but I still couldn’t figure it out. I don’t exactly remember the issues, though, and I hope it’s better now.
edit: I realize there is Office web and it’s good but it has nowhere enough features. Also, do you guys think (Open, Libre, Only) office has as many features as Microsoft Excel?...
Yeah, it’s a terrible thing that you have to do this to get your city into the weather app, but I simply love the fact that you can do that, whereas on some proprietary system, you might wait months for the fix.
Sometimes I want to get updates on a news story, and it’s small or local so the coverage is sparse. I’d like to get an alert when a new news story or social media post is published....
I run different programs as different users, is it possible to have a visual indication of wether a user or another is running them ? e.g dolphin as user1, dolphin as user2, etc
I have no idea, but couldn’t this be an XY problem or how it’s called? I mean, do you really need to use apps as different users? Maybe you do, I don’t know, but sometimes it’s good to think about whether the problem you are trying to solve isn’t just a result of another peoblem.
Just install EndeavorOS lol (feddit.de)
