I’m moving my posts from Reddit to Lemmy before delete them.

It should've been apt-get but welp.
Honestly, I cannot blame him for that. This requires deep knowledge of the subject and the fix is not easy to spot.
I have been using Linux for a decade now on desktop and server systems and he'll, even I would probably have told the package manager to go do it's shit and borked my system. Because getting weird errors, warnings and conflicts is just "the Linux experience" (TM)
I hope more flatpack based distris come up or stuff like nix gains some following. This would make it a lot easier for people with less knowledge to get into the Linux space without much technical knowledge or the possibility to Bork the system (to a degree). Meanwhile classic distros can serve the more technically inclined audience.
I also don't really judge him, but i think that even thought the ideia was to go as a complete newbie to linux he should at least do some real research or whatch a feel youtube videos about before doing the challenge, i first installed ubuntu and after a afternoon i don't really wanned to keep using linux, them i watched some videos and started to use pop os on a live usb, after 2 days of using it instead of booting normally on windows 10 i wiped windows and never looked back
