Inkscape downgraded to system version and refuses to launch the flatapak. I've tried anything , fixed updates , upgraded the shit out of it (my desktop is fire :p) . I downloaded 3 different app managers , extensions , even installed it from the terminal and tried to run it.
I give up thinking to format and reinstall FEDORA .
It all started 2 days ago by disabling system fonts and reinstalling them after messing up my whole system . Also playing with the bleach app :p At my last attempt a notification said that this version won't run in my laptop because my screen is too big -_-

Breaking your Linux install is a rite of passage. Congratulations.

Yes I didn't expect this type of break. I've half bricked my phone and windows countless times but this reaction is insane XD . I also forgot to mention that my desktop is a bit more 3d no matter the theme , opacity or extension 🤣

Time shift is my best friend easily. I have finally convinced myself that I don't need 12 hourly snapshots a day, along with my 7 daily 3 weekly and 2 monthly.

But God, is it nice to just be able to click the undo button and the only punishment is waiting for an Fsck to finish scanning

At first you need to clean up I guess.

If something like Inkscape does not work, the first thing you should do is to analyze what is wrong. The system's log files are your assistant and friend. journalctl -ef is a good start into the rapid hole.

There you will be provided with the information what is not working properly und what needs to be fixed.

Still no compile with makefile tho

If you have btrfs snapshots, you can rollback to a working version.

I wish I hadn't run the bleach as a root. :p Lesson learned I guess

[-] warmaster@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

two options: learn, or switch to silverblue. XD

[-] biscuitfree@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

Or break both and remain clueless :p

I've been using Bazzite and Aurora for 2 years now, they are downstream of Silverblue. They have been rock solid, stable, and damn easy to use. I do gaming, vibe coding, office work and graphic design.

I haven't been forced to read any bible or wiki to do anything, they never broke, everything just works. I freaking love my PCs.

If you feel tempted to block yourself from braking your distro, I highly recommend them.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
