Linux does let you fuck around and find out lol

initrd? Sounds like bloat, I'm deleting it.

I've debloated my OS down to a typewriter.

A mistake in Linux can cause it to uninstall its bootloader.

A mistake in Windows can also cause it to uninstalling Linux's bootloader.

You don't have to use it it under uefi anyway.

Linux is the parent that let's their child put a fork into the electrical socket and then says "Have you learned anything?"

"Am afraid you can't do that"

Sigh "sudo uninstall the bootloader"

Not going to lie. Many years ago on one of my first Linux installs that I actually built up to be more than just a dev playground, I deleted my bootloader... it just let me do that, no scary confirm. That is the day I learned Linux is guardrails-off, lol.

EatingOnions is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

... and the irony that Windows can also fuck up your bootloader in a dual boot scenario.

Technically speaking you don't need a bootloader to boot Linux, with uefi of course you can use efistub and just boot from there but you could also have a separate Linux distro on a USB stick than chroot into your main one. Hell even if you uninstall the kernel there are still ways to repair the system.

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

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.

I mean you can delete system32 in windows tho

🥲

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)

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

Missed opportunity to draw a penguin face.

Just make sure to reinstall a bootloader before the next reboot. Or bring one one a USB stick when you need it. Or just copy me and boot me in a VM. What do I care? I'm just a kernel.

I wanna update my arch with a single command/click, no confirms.

The whole forum: Nooooo!!! You're gonna break your system!! You'll regret this!! Nooooooooo!

Meanwhile 99% of people just spam yes at their terminal when updating and restore a snapshot when things don't work out.

I once unistalled edge and now Teams app doesn't work too. So I unistalled it too. Now I use Teams on Firefox

Linux: Pain will be your teacher.

Now imagine which one would work best for regular users.

The one that lets you do anything you like, or the one that protects the user from their own mistakes.

Would this in theory allow me to switch from "legacy BIOS" boot to UEFI boot?

YESSS! YOUR SYSTEM WILL BREAK!!!

You can uninstall edge
