it works incredibly well as a PWA and feels 100% like a native app. This also allows me to open it on my portrait-orientation monitor on my PC and it feels very good. Handling is much better than the native lemmy UI and i only visit lemmy ui for admin stuff
yeah i think a sandbox would be the best solution.
Depending on what script OP is trying to run it would be best to just "rebuild" the potentially affected part of your system inside a VM and see what happens.
You could try running the script under Kornshell. When you execute a script with ksh -D, it reads the commands and checks them for syntax, but doesn't execute them. Combine that with set -xv, and you'll print out the commands that will be executed.
You can also use set -n for the same effect. Kornshell and BASH are fairly compatible with each other. If it's a pure Bourne shell script, both Kornshell and BASH will execute it pretty much the same.
You can also run ksh -u which will cause unset shell variables to cause the script to fail. However, that wouldn't have caught the catless cat of a nonexistent file. In that case, the shell variable was set. It was set to null.
Of course, you could run the script under a restricted shell too, but that's probably not going to uninstall the package.
Depends on how your your perspective on this is:
I don't think this will affect the distro at all, development and maintenance will probably continue as is and you as the user will not feel any difference...
But if you don't want to use any of their projects anymore, you should switch, yes. But don't think you somehow "hurt or harm" them by "boycotting" fedora. Since you don't pay anything for fedora, you do not provide them any revenue by using it, therefore you are not taking any possible source of income away by NOT using it anymore.
You switching to another distro will change only what you use and nothing in the big picture. So it's 100% up to you with literally zero external factors to consider.... atleast imho
The "Problem" is however, that there are a gazillion different approaches to everything. And everyone will tell you their method and maybe even badmouth other peoples methods... That way you don't really know what to do anymore.
Imho, don't install them in a VM. Get yourself a new cheap SSD. Unplug the one with windows on it and just install a well-known Linux distro that has a big open community on your PC.
If you want something Arch-based: I'd highly recommend you Garuda-Linux. Don't get scared off by it's ..... flashy default looks. This can be changed very easily. But they have one of the most welcomming and helpful communities i have ever witnessed. They aren't really here or on reddit, but rather have their own forum.
This thing will give you everything you need to start. And if something breaks, it does automatic snapshots of your system everytime you install a new package. So if something breaks, you turn off...turn on....and in the boot menu you'll find your snapshots. Pick the last working one. and that's it. Good to go again.
Ricing Gnome is both easier and harder than what you see here.
Gnome is very limiting in terms of customization - compared to other DE / WM atleast.
That means lesser people actually make cool projects / designs for GNOME, that limits your selection.
But then GNOME is actually quite straight forward when you find something. You can just google GTK4 themes and you should find something on https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=135
Other than that you might start to browse all the extensions. There are many that will alter your layout, give you additional bar, widgets
"once you go usenet, you will never go back." true.
Been a torrent kiddie since the old days and thought this was the end all be all of online availability of stuff i want.
Friend of me got an unlimited account on fastusenet and let me hook into it. 20€/y for a very nice german & international newsgroup forum with unlimited API access that was made with sonarr / radarr in mind.
I can and don't want to ever go back...it's blazing fast, whenever i find something, i can be certain that it's there and ready for download; Unlike torrents... just bcs u got a magnet doesn't mean there are enough seeders. And then it takes sooooooo long. On usenet i get my 350mbit/s and it can even be unpacked while being downloaded.
That way i can request a movie and watch it in 20min even if it's a BR-REMUX that is like 8090GB
