Yeah… uninstall the bootloader… I may just do that. Good idea. That’ll be fun… a little extra security hurdle to hop over to be able to boot into the machine. Doesn’t really do much to the attack surface, but eliminates about half of the dumb attackers. Glad for the freedom to have unique innovative security arrangements. Thankyou Free Software.
A mistake in Linux can cause it to uninstall its bootloader.
A mistake in Windows can also cause it to uninstalling Linux’s bootloader.
Windows caused me to install Linux bootloader 🤷
Speaking from experience, windows will gladly uninstall the linux bootloader without mistakes or errors involved. Pretty sure that’s just what a successful update is for microslop.
You can disable updates using massgravel to get enterprise mode, and then disabling automatic updates in gpedit :3
Windows IS a mistake.
You don’t have to use it it under uefi anyway.
I’m going to mount efivars as rw and delete them
🥲
I mean you can delete system32 in windows tho
Yeah with my linux dual boot. But on win?
IIRC they introduced copy on write and snapshots for all system files with Vista and since then you cannot alter them (with regular rights - NTAUTHORITY\SYSTEM might still be able to do so)
Missed opportunity to draw a penguin face.

Linux is the parent that let’s their child put a fork into the electrical socket and then says “Have you learned anything?”
*lets
If you say so!
Linux is the parent tells their child “Lets put a fork into the electrical socket” and then says “Have you learned anything?”
Get your damn hands off my Lets!
Msg unclear system dead
On Windows the OS pisses you off. On Linux the only one you can be mad at is yourself because Linux does exactly what you tell it todo
initrd? Sounds like bloat, I’m deleting it.
I only need the internet, what is this
“Am afraid you can’t do that”
Sigh “sudo uninstall the bootloader”
Yes, do as I say!
When I grow up there will be a day when everybody has to do what IIIIII say…
… and the irony that Windows can also fuck up your bootloader in a dual boot scenario.
Windows doesn’t let you really screw your system because it’s its work and it’s very jealous of it.
Edge is cancer, it randomly opens and takes minutes to load before recognizing closing it.
In the old days task manager would close it, but task manager is now worthless. God I fucking hate Microsoft
You know, as much as I don’t love AI, a small model sitting in the terminal of noob installations might be a useful thing.
update graphics driver
:hey, that’s not a command, but if you’re looking to do that, you should … (step by step process)
That’s actually a good idea, just a tiny local model just to help you learn how to work in a terminal. I would have loved that when I first made the jump, the RTFM crowd almost made me give up.
the RTFM crowd almost made me give up.
Ya, there just gatekeeping skum that want to feel better than everyone else.
I’ve been avoiding RTFM for 30 years. command --help at best. Whoever writes the manual pages and I just don’t see eye to eye on documentation.
command - description
20 examples of common usage
exhaustive list of options with a short paragraph each and acceptable usage.
that’s what I want.
It seems either they want to write you a 50 page novel mentioning random options or just give you 250 options with loose references of what’s not allowed with what.
I’ve been throwing a lot of my shell scripts into llm and asking for best practice updates, it’s shocking how much cool shit it out there that i’ve never even considered.
today’s gem:
script -q ~/command.log
do a bunch of crap
exit
script get’s written
put that together with SSH.
Now you log ssh sessions on all servers to one file. You can go back and farm that for history.
script that out so that on exit it expunges export, sql and vault type passwords/keys.
EXAMPLES sections should be way more common!
They do exist, a lot of man pages have them.
They’re at the BOTTOM though, for some reason (probably because they’re kinda an afterthought, which is itself weird). It’d be nice to have them at the top.

Learning to not ask questions, feeling like a pleb when everyone else is a guru, and having RTFM yelled at you is part of the Linux experience. What else do you expect me to do when someone asks me a question? Provide that new user with a level headed answer that concisely addresses their problem in-order to encourage them to join the Linux community and help it to grow? Are you even listening to yourself right now, you sound crazy.
I’ve… seen this? Well, not an AI model, but I know I’ve seen something where it takes common words and gives you the best guess on commands, and even common typos.
There is a program called thefuck that does this - can fix things like gti instead of git etc…
Pour one out for the real heros
yeah, Ubuntu has a command-not-found handler. it sets up .bashrc with /usr/lib/command-not-found when you miss a cli match.
You can uninstall edge
You can
uninstallhide edgeon ltsc you can uninstall it like any other program
No you can actually uninstall edge, it’s as simple as a GitHub script
What does it even mean?
A different version of Windows, designed for enterprise customers.
I don’t know now but years ago when I used to use windows you wouldn’t be able to uninstall it
