The good thing about an nvidia driver update is that it forces you to take a backup. And hey, I figured out how apt-file works just so I could figure out where the nvidia driver put nvidia-settings (as it forgot to put it somewhere $path could find it, and no .desktop files were made).

It’s taken from the excellent 1998 anime “Serial Experiments Lain”. It’s so iconic, excellent intro (OP) theme. But a bit surreal, it’s kind of Lynchian in a way.

Tbf, disabling systemD autorun is the only thing I’ve ever user kwriteconfig6 for, because with it enabled bash scripts don’t run correctly.

Only thing I’ve had to edit in the terminal in the last several months has been automount on a hard drive.

I just use gnome disks for that. Tbh, that’s the only thing I use gnome disks for.

I don’t mind using the terminal, but how the fuck am I going to remember something like kwriteconfig6 --file startkderc --group General --key systemdBoot false? (In fact, there aren’t even man pages for that command). Like the scribbles of a mad man I’ve had to put down commands like that in a sort of personal instructions manual, because ain’t no way I’ll remember these commands by heart.
And you often end up just saving the most used commands as aliases or functions in the .bashrc meaning you don’t retain the syntax for the commands you use. Well, maybe I’m a unique case of fish memory… The thing about humans is that we greatly rely on our vision, and having GUI’s to show what’s possible greatly improve ones understanding of how to manage it going forward.
