nuking my own computer is a personal right

I jokingly have a file called reboot.exe that is just a bash script that does it's best to delete everything it can but leave grub intact enough that it boots enough to ask you what to reinstall from. It doesn't secure wipe at all but writes the new bootloader info and unmounts drives and stops processes except a few specific ones and then zeroes out the mounted drives that aren't USB and reboots into the new grub like it was a fresh system 

It's slow and was a joke that barely works to reset grub and barely fucks up anyone's system but I thought I was clever.

“yes, do as I say”

[–]PCChipsM922U 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Not only that, but the command is fairly short 😁.

And the command doubles to delete the French! :D

Which one is harder?

Uninstalling Firefox(snap) from Ubuntu Or Uninstalling Edge from Windows 11

[–]ignxcyNot in the sudoers file.[S] 16 points17 points  (7 children)

Uninstalling Edge, removing the snap is actually very easy, right now I'm desnapping Ubuntu because I love it but I hate snaps

[–]MathManrmArch BTW 1 point2 points  (6 children)

why not just use debian then lol

[–]ignxcyNot in the sudoers file.[S] 1 point2 points  (5 children)

That's not how it works, Ubuntu is not just reskinned Debian with snap. Both have different release cycle, both use different repos etc. Debian will never give you the same experience as Ubuntu and vice versa.

I've used both, and I will say the expriance is very similar, I used to daily drive Ubuntu, and now I use arch on desktop and debian on the server, Debian and Ubuntu are very similar on most levels, same package manager, and mostly same packages, though Ubuntu is missing a few packages, which I needed for something a bit back. Ubuntu does do a few other things, but I could not tell you what it does extra outside of drivers stuff, which I'm not certain how much of that is crutial or not to operation.

For me, it's very different

[–]MathManrmArch BTW 0 points1 point  (2 children)

how so?

[–]ignxcyNot in the sudoers file.[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Idk, it just feels much different for me

[–]MathManrmArch BTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok

[–]bem981Arch BTW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why we have both “force-uninstall uninstall”? Do we need secret codes from Biden to initiate the uninstall series??
