amlorinitrd? Sounds like bloat, I’m deleting it.
gilokeeYeah 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 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

I have none of that bloat crap on my calculator.

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

Get your damn hands off my Lets!
Yes, do as I say!
When I grow up there will be a day when everybody has to do what IIIIII say…
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.
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 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.
forestbeastsEXAMPLES 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.

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
Windows doesn’t let you really screw your system because it’s its work and it’s very jealous of it.
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 uninstall hide edge
What does it even mean?
A different version of Windows, designed for enterprise customers.
