This should be fun...
(and if you haven't been told yet: never run scripts you find on the Internet if you don't know what they do) -
Been there done that on a server I had to manage at school the teacher was laughing his arse off XD
-
@andrebreda way old. Linux (and BSD's?!) protect against it and usually make you add an additional flag that's completely obvious as to what you're doing.. like '--no-preserve-root'
-
@andrebreda Wow. I haven't looked but I'm guessing that's about one line of code to write. OK 3 or 4 in C, but still something an intern could write. That's surprising. Was it a recent version??
-
@derrekbertrand Apparently I'm clumsy and just leave it running/forget about it. So I never really use it. I agree though - the drop down is amazing!
-
@stable-penguin yep, El Capitan... But I don't remember if I ran it with sudo. I'll try it next time I format
-
@andrebreda I don't know the names any more than I know the silly Ubuntu names. Devs like version numbers. 10.1 ... 16.04 ... But I do know that's one of the more recent versions
-
@stable-penguin It's 10.10 if I'm not mistaken... Planning to switch to Linux before college so it doesn't really matter anymore :)
-
@andrebreda awesome, college was when I stopped using Windows except sometimes for work. If you're doing CS you'll probably have to take a compiler and others that (at least were) taught with GNU utils and Linux. Good luck!
-
@stable-penguin I know... I used a few distros before... I want to try to master Arch and (finally) switch to i3!
-
@andrebreda Follow your need, not the tool.
I thought the same thing for i3. I was getting tied up with working around issues and have since fallen in love with the Arch/Gnome 3 dev environment. It's clean and gets out of your way.
It is great for anything from Python to Steam @ 4k 90fps+.
