Run random commands until you break some shit

Follow me for more Linux tips
- sudo rm -rf /
  
  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!
- seems reasonable enough
This is me. I've been configuring my desktop environment this past week and I don't know what else to configure
Nothing left to configure? Install Gentoo!
Me looking at my config with my own soul injected into it and nothing left to do:
- Love your profile picture and banner btw
- Me with NixOS lmfao
  
  "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?"
Go help other people in forums
- I do and its is very satisfying. Even though its very basic stuff.
  
  Wanna help me right now configuring Nextcloud server on NixOS? Hehe
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. 🥴👍

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.
