You are going to fuck this up. Don’t come crawling back to me when you lose all your data since the dawn of time and you completely brick this goddamn computer. This is your one and only warning.
Windows user: “Whatever”, and keeps clicking around.
They probably don’t even read what the message has to say. When I’ve helped some family members with their computer I’ve seen something important pop up and they just closed it immediately. I asked what did that message say and they said “I don’t know I just closed it.” :/
With modern windows error messages being absolutely useless “something went wrong :/” tier messages I can’t even blame them that much anymore.
Mac and Linux users do this too. If they didn’t then systems administration wouldn’t be a career path.
As a systems administrator, I’ll not worry about users taking over my job as long as Citrix exists.
“beyond repair” my ass, this is Linux
I guess they meant “beyond repair if you don’t have access to a live boot USB or the means to create one”. Gotta remember who this warning is meant for. For those kind of users, “beyond repair” might technically be true.
exactly lol.
“wtf is a ‘boot/efi’ directory, seems stupid, bye bye!”
Mario Sunshine stakes got higher
It’s right tho…
Even sudo says that: “With great power comes great responsibility.”
pssh, it also says “this incident will be reported” when I get my password wrong.
It does get reported, we know what you did
this is why I moved everyone in my family to atomic fedora. This is almost entirely not a thinng there. To be fair while all of them regularly fucked up windows, only my mom ever fucked up regular linux distros.
Linus Sebastian will ignore all text and type yes do as I say
Iirc before dolphin would just refuse to run as root, I guess this is an improvement
Yep, they used to. SUSE actually shipped a second version (or maybe just a shortcut with some startup-option) of Dolphin to provide “Dolphin as Root”. I think this was inspired by said approach

That’s the dolph.

I never ever had to run my file manager as root.
Same here, but I can understand why someone might want to. For many people, even those that are comfortable on the command line, a GUI is a more comfortable experience. And, I have (rarely) needed to do some filesystem management as not my primary user account.
I installed something that I got very disappointed, and wanted to get rid of it
the script itself tried to rm something in a directory but failed, sudo dolphin didn’t work, so I found out how to delete stuff from… I think /bin or /usr/local/bin ?
That needed me to run as admin/root so I did it. I deleted 1 file, the leftover artifact of the thing I didn’t want installed. I then stopped using dolphin as admin so that I wouldn’t break everything forever.
I then stopped using dolphin
Let me stop you right there altogether!
I’m getting used to it; I customised it to my liking and it even has a terminal built in. what do you recommend instead?
also, what do you recommend that works like VSCode for writing shit into that I never save and leave open forever, and has a search functionality on all open files that can work on any programming language I want (through compiler/interpreter and colour scheme plugins)?
Vscodium.
Or one of the many variants of ol’ Sublimetext and Atom (Sublime is paid for, Atom has been abandoned, but there are successors)
I’ll check out some atom successors, thanks! Any specific ones you like?
Pulsar edit was the one I tried.
BTW pulsar is going good so far thank you for your suggestion
anyone else find this just so patronizing and smug?
[x] Do not warn me about these risks again
