In A UEFI World, "rm -rf /" Can Brick Your System

This New Linux Kernel Update Can Damage Your Laptop Display

There was also a particular optical drive that would brick if installing from a particular I believe Red Hat Linux installation cd, though I can't find a source for this (personal experience with 2 drives - warning was in manual). -This was ~20 years ago.

The Youtubers generally know not to sink to the community level of toxicity, but they go overboard on positivity and lose credibility.

  • install Linux
  • install Gnome
  • install some software
  • reboot
  • these icons are in my menu
  • clicking on them does nothing

I know there's probably an explanation for it, which may make sense if you're used to the Linux ecosystem.
But to anyone else, it's just weird that there are buttons in my user-friendly GUI button-clicky desktop environment that make no sense, that I didn't install, and that do nothing when I click on them.

(Yes, I know I can hide them by editing a text file.
Or installing a menu editor that was designed for a version of Gnome from 20 years ago and still works most of the time)

This forum exists due to brigading, invading, unwelcome evangelism, misinformation, and general conspiracy theory nonsense that has wasted other people's time and energy. If your hobby is to come here and down-doot the hard hitting posts, add your anecdotes, and otherwise pollute / derail this forum -YOU are the problem. YOU are why this is here. YOU are why the moderation here has to be heavy handed. Your activity here just proves our points and fuels us. Linux on its own didn't bring this about.

Don't like it? -Block it. We're here for your victims, not you.
