You are on to something. I have seen many videos about gimp & krita vs Photoshop. All the vidoes just compared them by treating Photoshop as the gold standard and ANY difference was points off. Even jiat changing what the hot keys did.

Why, well thet often compair drawing times and changing from ctrl+t to ctrl+w slows them down.

Ok how thought the link was going to lead to a rick roll

So i hear that removing all the gnu stuff opens linux to be redistributed with a bew liesinse like mit. Which means its a little more closed iff a little more monitized.

Not knowledge enough on my own to know for sure. If someone with more knowledge could explain.

Switch to linux and your kids is call

Today i learb chroot is a word

I had a dual boot machine for a year or so when i first used linux. Never actually went into windows the whole time

I didn’t want to have spyware for an os.

As someone insecure in their masculinity I don’t know if u would use ladybird. Now if it was MANbird I would.

So tldr start with a dual boot machine

Umm correct if um wrong but cant you make a snapshot of ant file system

Ok to provide more detail After tue updatecthe login screen changed. It looked completely different.

When i typed in my password and hit enter it would go black and the right back to the login screen.

Incorrect password

Typing stuff did make the black appear. It would just fail everytime.

Which was ignored

Yeah i woyld have entered right the second time. Numlock was off and it is a simple pass. The best i can tell is kde issued a buggy update to their de. Thats why the logon screen looked different and why issueing an update comand fixed it but reset my desktop settings.

Hopping over to mint tomorrow

Ctrl+shift+f3 Then user name and sudo password

That changes the promt to username$.

Then i ran sudo pkcon update. Several people had this problem and all the others solutins uses comands I couldn’t understand but this one i did.

It worked*.

I can log in but my desktop settings are the default now. But atleast i lost no files.

I could not or maybe i could. It let me run a sudo pkcon update and that fixed it

Well i now thats not the problem i dont have that many files and the imstall is less the a month old.
