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)
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 IS a mistake.
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
You can uninstall edge
I don’t know now but years ago when I used to use windows you wouldn’t be able to uninstall it
Github
You can
uninstallhide edgeNo you can actually uninstall edge, it’s as simple as a GitHub script
on ltsc you can uninstall it like any other program
What does it even mean?
A different version of Windows, designed for enterprise customers.
I’ve debloated my OS down to a typewriter.
Olivetti it is🤪
Smith Corona Linux.
I use Selectric Linux btw
Found the IBM loyalist.
Pencil and paper for me boys. I’d do cave painting, there are no caves around me.
You could’ve just installed slack
Ahhh, sackcloth and ashes! Tarballs. Yum!
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.
What’s the point of a backup you don’t load?
exactly
… 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.
“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…
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 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)
YESSS! YOUR SYSTEM WILL BREAK!!!
Linux does let you fuck around and find out lol
rm -rf /Please, if you do that
rm / -rfand you’re really looking into that path to make sure it’s correct.
Linux does not “let you fuck around” in fact its says “you are root and if you root I assume u know what you do!”
And yeah i learned that the hard way when it didnt threw any errors at me doing stuff as root…
10/10 would do it again!
I’ve forgotten i was root, thought I was back to normal user, fat fingered a command, and removed tons of directories. I actually learn more fixing my fuck ups than when I reading books. Nothing like pressure to really focus you!
That happened to me with /etc/ . That was not a fun experience.
The best teacher is a fuck up
But then you find out, and you learn, and we become better users for it.
True, I only broke my boot twice… Never again
With the number of times I have done the live distro chroot thing you’d think I would have the procedure memorized
Don’t be so sure.
I’m a good user on a very broken system
Linux: Pain will be your teacher.

EatingOnions is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
You don’t have to use it it under uefi anyway.
I’m going to mount efivars as rw and delete them
