  • ONE OF US ! ONE OF US !

    is this your production machine? If yes, dont type random commands until you know exactly what they are.

    I know it’s Linux and you can try many things as you want, but unless you are very experienced, dont do it on your main laptop.

    It is pretty difficult because you can do things like installing new enviroments or try out different hacks for free. If you really want to tinker, do it on a 2nd laptop or just in Virtual Machine.


  • Best thing I’ve done: delete Facebook/Meta. It was very difficult because you kept coming back… Think I “deleted” 20 times and still crawled back to login. Yeh…

    So I came up with a plan to purposely delete and lock myself out of it.

    This was like 5 yrs ago, I didnt have much uploaded photos so the process was easy. First, I changed the email on Facebook/Meta to a temporary one. Then I went further to use some random password create a new password.

    Then I deleted the account with that temporary email and random password and closed the browser. Finally, I nuked my entire OS and reinstall a new one, just in case if the cache contains data about the email and password.
















  • CLI partioning tools are fine, just print the layout before finalizing the changes to make sure.

    You know what is scary? Back in like 2009, the graphic drivers are not well supported and so you rum into weird glitches even during a live environment. For my particular case, a live Ubuntu install couldnt display the check boxes correctly. These checkboxes are pretty darn important:

    • where you want to install

    • do you want to delete your existing partitions? Very bad if you dual boot. …etc…

    Cant see shit due to gliches so i just YOLO and hope for the best.



  • Yeh I started with Fedora 41 on i3 and then did the upgrade to 42. Maybe there are issues during the upgrades? Idk

    I just wiped my drive and reinstalled 42 because the issue is so annoying - you cant do shit unless you logout and log back in.

    I tried Fedora KDE 42 - very nice but it hang on bootup (30 seconds after login) and randomly on suspend.

    Guess I’ll just stick with the official Gnome - Fedora Workstation.
