When I was first starting out my programming adventures with Python, someone told me that I should work with Python 3 instead of 2 because that’s what will be maintained in the future (this was some 8 years ago). I decided to listen and when I got home I opened up my terminal, wrote:

sudo apt-get remove python

Followed by

sudo apt-get install python3

Only to be suddenly greeted with:

sudo: command not found

In my days of learning Python, I was told to use pyenv and set environments based on the projects rather than making changes to the system. Maybe there are better options nowadays.

And that, kids, is how Linus fucked his Pop!_OS installation.

To be completely fair, he nuked his desktop environment when it absolutely shouldn’t have happened. Yes, there was the warning and he should’ve read it, but coming from Windows, how many times is the “This app may harm your PC” threat legitimate? Linus made an honest mistake, but pop truly made a massive oversight.

Windows warning is a reminder that an app can be a virus. There is no warning that the app will self destruct your PC even if it’s a reputable app.

Sorry, but how can I access this from a different instance? I tried searching the community but it returned no result.

The search function’s really weird, was having trouble finding a community on a different instance as well. I think it works best if you remove the ! and everything after @. I went onto sh.itjustworks, went to the Communities tab, then all, then searched “windows_help” and I found it. Hope. that works!
