    Hah. ‘95 ish here? I was like twelve the first time I fucked up a Red Hat distro.

    I mean I was 12. Dad is a Unix admin……

    “Don’t do that.”
    “Why not?”
    “Okay. Do that…. Find out. Yiu have the install media, right?”
    (Does “that”…)
    “wait… you actually did that?! We just got done installing it…”

    Edit to add: “newer and faster” in web browser terminology usually means “bloated and resource intensive”- like how they now all open up multiple processes to load and run faster. (iirc there’s a way to turn that off in Firefox.)

      I beat that. When I first installed a BSD in 1988 - I was 16 and stupid - I thought I would copy files like on Amiga or MSDOS by “copy filename c:” and did cp filename /dev/sda.

      You only do that ONCE.

        My dad was a genius. He helped me build my first pc out of spare parts from his computer-parts-rack.

        It was a pentium 486. He taught me enough that I could recover… and then helped when I asked for it, but gave me space to fuck up on my own. Because you will fuck up.

        But it’s okay, cuz you have the install media and everything “important” backed up.
