@strongsand okay so like WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 doesn’t always work so now i’m learning about environment variables

@strongsand okay so. i haven’t reinstalled yet. i have rebooted, and my theme is completely gone now lol, even down to the mouse. on the topic of the mouse, scroll direction has changed and the sensitivity settings have changed as well. my desktop seems functional but there’s no system trey or whatever it’s called so i have to go to one of my TTYs and run WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 application in order to get anything open

@strongsand i was thanking of reinstalling lol, i think i’ll go with that.

@strongsand uhh i don’t own another usb drive and my system itself is actually a usb drive plugged into an imac and i’ve been on this for hours, how do you know everything’s not been overwritten?

@strongsand okay. so. last night i decided to upgrade to fedora 41 and sleep while the thing’s doing its thing. turns out, the system ran out of memory at like 11pm (about twelve hours ago from now), so like, i go “okay so howabout i just decide to delete some of my beefier files and get on with the upgrade.”
this goes like. okay. but dolphin, my arch nemesis, is like “okay hun, howabout you do that while i lag and crash repeatedly for daring to use me,” which causes me to go “hm, maybe i should use rm -r so i can bypass all this,” which caused me to run rm -r ~/{CPfL.zip,gzdoom-linux-x64-g4.12pre-420-g144caa090.tar.xz,dsda-doom-0.28.2-Linux.appimage,Hexen\ -\ Beyond\ Heretic.zip,} which i only realized was a mistake of some sort after i decide to check in on it after it ran for a suspiciously long time to see something along the lines of “rm: could not remove files from /home/shroomie/.local/flatpak: directory not empty”

now, my system theme is all messed up, keepassxc forgot i had an archive hooked up to it (the archive is fine though, thank god,) various flatpak apps have disappeared (but oddly not all of them), steam doesn’t launch (despite it being installed from DNF), and oddly the only thing that seems to wrong with librewolf is that it forgot my previous session

hey would anyone be willing to help me with some linux stuff, i’ve fucked up big time lol

please boost

@elilla okay so i’m 90% sure you’re talking about japanese prime minister shinzo Abe, but 10% of me is wondering if you’re talking about united states president abraham lincoln lol
