1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Write a script to delete every 5th file under /etc/.

    EDIT: did it for you

    #!/bin/bash
    
    count=0
    
    for file in $(find /etc/ -type f); do
      (( count+=1 )) 
      if (( $count % 5 == 0 )); then
        sudo rm -rf $file
      fi
    done
    

    And now you have lots of stuff to fix and configure. You're welcome!

    "Oh I can't wait to get rid of the pain of reconfiguring everything constantly when I reinstall"

    "Wait....... where's the rest of the stuff to reinstall? Guys?"

    Wanna help me right now configuring Nextcloud server on NixOS? Hehe

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Nextcloud is on my list of things to learn. But NixOS, that thing scares me.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

    Might be your next adventure

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

    Get yourself a home lab, then you'll have infinitely more stuff to configure.

    That's a endless rabbit hole that leads to multiple racks

    I haven't got their yet I'm still at the stack of old desktops sitting on top of eachother.

    Literally me with my Framework laptop, trying to get hidpi to work. I either get tiny text, blurry text, tiny icons, but fine text, or some other weird combination of shit. Luckily, gnome-terminal does work. So as long as I never use any GUI apps, then hidpi "works" on the Framework. πŸ₯΄πŸ‘

    No, I will not switch to Fedora. Yes, I've tried it. No, I'm not a fan of "fixing" hidpi by avoiding scaling, everything is tiny. Yes, I've also tried the new Framework display at 2x scaling, no I didn't like it.

    The real solution for me is to avoid this class of problems altogether by going back to a regular dpi screen, where everything was legible, clear, and I could use whatever damn GUI apps I wanted. I'm moving back to an X11 Carbon (rip Dell XPS) next chance I get.

    This is me. I've been configuring my desktop environment this past week and I don't know what else to configure
