Re-creation of someone else’s post because the original was removed and I found it funny when I first saw it
minus-squaremasterofn001@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up29·edit-210 months agoI don’t have a printer. I don’t like open ports. Decides to remove CUPS. “apt list -i *cups*” There are like 7 CUPS packages and dependencies. for each package “apt remove cups --simulate” Get to package 6 and decide ‘Ok. No major issues, looks fine.’ For the first 6 packages “sudo apt remove CUPS” This is easy and painless! On 7th … Removing cups-pk or some shit… Removing mint-common… Removing cinnamon-desktop… Oh, fuck

minus-squaremasterofn001@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up23arrow-down1·edit-210 months agoWhen I was new to Linux I broke EVERYTHING. Often. The more you break, the more you learn. Nobody tells me I can’t modify this file. Eg. I once accidentally chmodded the entire root directory. (Recursion incident) Linux does not like when the root fs permissions are ALL changed. I had no internet at the time. And no idea what timeshift was. Thankfully, I had a library card. Learned a lot about permissions that month. (I enjoy doing things the hard way)
minus-squareChewy@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoDid you manage to get your system working again? Iirc I did the same on Arch a few years ago and it wasn’t too bad to restore the system after looking at the permissions on a fresh install (maybe a container or vm, idr).
