    I use NixOS for the atomic updates that I can roll back to at any time, so I can more or less never completely break my system. And even if I somehow manage it, I can just do a fresh install and apply my flake to get my entire setup back.

    The drawback is that it does not follow the filsystem hierarchy standard, so a lot of scripts and binaries does not work out of the box. It gives me quite a bit of friction, but I’m sure that is a skill issue.

    My desktop started by being inspired by a lot of Linux YouTubers, and I’ve gradually modified it to fit my needs.

    I’m using Hyprland, Ghostty, neovim (btw), Rofi, waybar.

    But, I’ll have to check out Niri after reading here.


  • Yeah, sorry for assuming it’s obvious. Maybe I’ve been around Linux people too much xD

    AngryCommieKender is mostly right. It would delete every file and directory in your home directory, which is the Linux equivalent of the Users/<username> folder on Windows. It’s where all of your Documents, Pictures, Downloads, config files, and the likes are stored.

    I’m not sure it’s a protected action, since it’s not the actual root of the computer. But, I’ve never tried, so I don’t know :P
