You are going to fuck this up. Don’t come crawling back to me when you lose all your data since the dawn of time and you completely brick this goddamn computer. This is your one and only warning.
“beyond repair” my ass, this is Linux
I guess they meant “beyond repair if you don’t have access to a live boot USB or the means to create one”. Gotta remember who this warning is meant for. For those kind of users, “beyond repair” might technically be true.
Maybe its also a ship of theseus type situation. If you have to copy /etc/ from somewhere else, is it still the same installation?
In modern Linux and assuming you did no pre-filtering or post-processing, no. machine-id systemd is a thing, fstabs commonly use device UUIDs now snd so forth with various subsystems. A laptop GRUB config commonly has the resume UUID set (sleep/hibernation stuff), a server typically has network configs tied to the hardware IDs, and on and on…
exactly lol.
“wtf is a ‘boot/efi’ directory, seems stupid, bye bye!”
In Ubuntu you used to be able to delete the UEFI firmware from the motherboard.
It’s right tho…
Even sudo says that: “With great power comes great responsibility.”
With great power comes great electricity bill.
Windows user: “Whatever”, and keeps clicking around.
They probably don’t even read what the message has to say. When I’ve helped some family members with their computer I’ve seen something important pop up and they just closed it immediately. I asked what did that message say and they said “I don’t know I just closed it.” :/
That’s usage for a non tech literate user
They will force every block out of the way of what they want to do, and if it stops working, they call someone.
Mac and Linux users do this too. If they didn’t then systems administration wouldn’t be a career path.
As a systems administrator, I’ll not worry about users taking over my job as long as Citrix exists.

Linus Sebastian will ignore all text and type yes do as I say
I knew I shouldn’t rely on that guy for sex tips.
Iirc before dolphin would just refuse to run as root, I guess this is an improvement
Yep, they used to. SUSE actually shipped a second version (or maybe just a shortcut with some startup-option) of Dolphin to provide “Dolphin as Root”. I think this was inspired by said approach
You’re not my supervisor.
they should just say here be dragons
It’s true! Dolphin breaks constantly, don’t give it a gun!

Are you afraid of this being the outcome?
If I want to look at files in a directory I use ls and thats it
Seems about three times wordier than necessary but ok
That’s the dolph.
