You can also remove the fr*nch language pack via rm -fr /

But in all seriosity, i tried to install Linux dual-boot with Windows on my dad's computer last weekend, and it broke the windows install because it doesn't support bitlocker (apparently). Maybe i could have gotten it to work, but i abandoned the project after the first failed attempt. Still a bit salty about that. Especially since it was meant to be a demonstration how "quick and easy" installing Linux nowadays supposedly is.

The best way to dual boot windows and linux is with separate drives, not partitions imo.

I was installing Linux on sb else's PC, to skip the Bitlocker warning I had to boot Windows, use cmd to assign drive letters to recovery partitions and disable bitlocker on them, again from cmd. The owner was confused because they had disabled bitlocker on C: but got Bitlocker warning on Linux installer anyways, I was looking at stackoverflow threads to find the right commands right next to the owner because I hadn't used Windows for years and forgot how to do things lol. Fun times.

It is quick and easy. Maintaining any other OS side by side is always a bigger ordeal than not doing it. It breaks the other way around as well - If you were running some linux distro and then tried dual booting by installing windows - no way you'd be able to boot into linux without extra tweaking.

I can’t remember the original version of the comic, what does each one of them say?

have you like

ever actually tried installing an old app on linux
or accidentally had a power outage during an update

it literally can't update without breaking and can't install old apps lol

Can't you just bury your head in the sand like the rest of us? Linux is literally perfect if you ignore all of its flaws.

You can totally stop updates on Windows. Fully off. They don't offer good options for updating on demand on your own schedule, but you can disable updates entirely and for pro and enterprise skus you can use GPO for additional delay options.

Linux: i can't stop dumb users (me) completely destroying everything with a bad console command

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

A great learning experience to not copy paste commands yoj don't understand.

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Breaking things is a valid way to start learning. Reading man pages is very often difficult and confusing for new users. And much of the documentation is crap anyway-- it's why distro forums exist. And I'm from a time when distro upgrades/updates were sometimes dicey, (they still can break things on occasions), and you complied your kernel and drivers from scratch.

I did this. Luckily, nothing was lost because I was only using it to learn at the time. It oddly boosted my confidence because if I could break the OS, I could learn how to use it.

Speaking of not being able to delete system apps, a friend of mine with a Pixel phone says Google Play cannot be uninstalled from it. Anybody know for sure?

[-] nebulaone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You can via adb ( android debug bridge ) , no root needed, but you need a pc or shizuku. Although if he has a pixel device he should just install GrapheneOS imo. Edit: puxel -> pixel

[-] EngineerGaming@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago

It's a Pixel... Y'know, the phone universally supported by degoogled OSes including Graphene? The ease of unlocking the bootloader is the only reason I have one at all!

[-] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 weeks ago

I moved from 16 years of iPhones to a Pixel 9 purely so I could put Graphene on it. It's been a couple of months so far and I'm loving it.
