If I’m breaking any rules, apologies.
I know, labeling something a repost is a lead weight, but I’m a fan of full disclosure. I posted this topic two years ago and I thoroughly enjoyed reading all the replies, I even learned a few things. Time has passed, and I figure some of you out there will have some new and interesting stories to share, so tell me:
So I was thinking of silly things I’ve done that pseudo-broke my system, or made me think I had a broken system. Like the time I put the cmd :
exit
in my ~/.bash_aliases file and I had to open a text editor to fix it because that broke all the terminals on my machine.
I’m curious what other silly things users have done to confuse themselves.
Op Op.
One time my computer ran way, way worse after I cleaned it. Like it was so bad and noticeable that I thought I had a virus or something, and spent a ton of time looking at task manager and stuff like that. Then, I opened it again and realized the motheboard power cable was only partially in. Plugged it back in fully and it ran perfectly.
What is task manager? Do you mean btop? I smell a windows user. (jokes)
I assume there is a task manager in Linux but I don’t know because I just use btop.
