[thread] classical case of f*** around and find out

Twenty minutes before a call i decided to install a package suggested by copilot on my ubuntu laptop and i ended up removing the whole ubuntu gnome and everything went black, all I could see is a blinking cursor, I had a lot of work saved on my PC that I was yet to push to git. The sheer adrenaline rush to get everything back to normal, 😘 it made my day.

[I recovered everything in the timeframe. Lesson learnt: never sudo install any package without looking it up]

this is some random linkedin style bullshit. Why not just name the package name? Why do you think a black screen is bad? What the fuck is copilot? Bing copilot? and "lesson learnt" is so linkedin. Post it in linkedin cringe instead.

The package was fuse, it's bad when you have a presentation in a few minutes, Github copilot.

I think fuse comes preinstalled with gnome as gnome uses fuse for mounting google drive.
