Did you set the font color as green or amber? It won’t work otherwise!
Funny enough, I learned terminal commands initially on a green on black monitor. I can’t use the terminal unless I set it to green on black. My brain literally won’t remember any terminal commands for any flavor of Linux until I change the color scheme.
I’m not quite that bad but I definitely prefer green or amber on black terminals. That’s how a command line is ‘supposed’ to look because that’s what I learned on.
I learned on a Tandy, so I want color 7 on color 0.
Did you say “Im in” afterwards? Otherwise it doesnt count.
I’m so old we used to call it BackTrack and we burned it to CDs 😭
Was backtrack before or after whoppix?
After.
Whoppix was the first iteration followed by whax and then backtrack.
It went from Backtrack to Kali. I’ve never heard of whoppix tho.
I must be really old then!
Heh, I remember tinkering with linux waaay back in the day. I had a shitty Slackware install I farted around with, and something I was doing required bootstrapping gcc. I clung to that man page like it was the last lifeboat off the Titanic, but by the end when it worked I felt exactly like this.
In Uni I ran Gentoo as my daily driver. It was stupid, but I learned a lot.
Trying and failing to get a working desktop environment, using IRC on the command line to get help from people who knew what they were doing and could advise a dumb kid like me, following their advice and getting a working DE after a reboot was the most hackerman I ever felt. I was convinced I was real hot shit. In actuality, I’d followed the advice to tweak the kernel config to get working drivers :))
Haha, yep. My very first linux install I had to do similar because I had a fucky video card that X11 didn’t support natively, ultimately I had to, er, acquire a commercial X server that did support it to make it work. It was a mess.
Wifi is not working help :((((
How I felt after adding encryption to my Immich server
me when I accidentally use the tree command on the root directory:
It has some of the most accurate hacking logic.
The plot on the other hand I disliked.
I know this one! You set your timezone then try again
the kkk has their own linux version?
Wow I really misread that name thought there where a few too many ks
That doesn’t surprise me. North Korea has their own as well.
