[Distro Links in OP] Linux, Software and Support
I didn't know that Config files are always supposed to be stored in home, settings as well, wallpapers are installed via a package or you can store it in home. Shell configs are in ~/.config. You'd have to be pretty dumb to modify the system config files, can't go back if you do…

(#601)I've used Linux for 2.5 years, since you use MacOS I could only assume you knew some of this at least?I didn't know that Config files are always supposed to be stored in home, settings as well, wallpapers are installed via a package or you can store it in home.

I give up - Been daily driving Linux for a couple months, doesn't seem to work out for me. It's getting kinda annoying prioritizing one thing over the other when choosing a Linux distro, when I need them all.

I said REPAIR, not reinstall. Like actually reinstall a bunch of broken packages or stuff.(#595)Weekend? I think it actually takes like 5-10 minutes to reinstall.
I broke my arch linux VM yesterday after updating it…
it'll probably take the whole weekend to fix
Also Debian VMs contantly break by changing the wallpaper of all things lol

In general, this:What exactly is going wrong? I give up - Been daily driving Linux for a couple months, doesn't seem to work out for me.
Also drivers never seem to like me. It's getting kinda annoying prioritizing one thing over the other when choosing a Linux distro, when I need them all.

I've used Ubuntu, Arch, Debian, Fedora, and Linux Mint. Been trying this for months, time to give it up. It's all forks of forks anyway!

do i not deserve to be in topic?? :sob: Copied from a YouTube comment- Hey mum, can I please play some Nintendo? I finished all my homework
- No son, it's too late
- sigh… hey mum, can I sudo play some Nintendo?
- Sure, you don't even have to ask!They don't deserve to be in this topic - I'm here because Linux is epic. If you do not like Linux
What do you think about licenses? What's the difference between MIT and BSD license? And is GPL worth it for a library?

why As of NOW, please move talks of Open Source to it's own topic.
why do we need to separate everything into a million different topics to discuss incredibly similar things
