i tried to get kde plasma on my fedora, when i booted it up there was just a black screen. i couldn’t type any commands either, it was toast

thankfully i’ve got windows dual booted because i’m a filthy gamer-gulag who uses it for vr games. unfortunately windows doesn’t let me see my linux drive’s files so all of my personal files are unrecoverable.

thankfully i think the most i had on my computer was my music (yt-dlp is so easy i can get it all back in 30 minutes tops) and a few files from some project i was working on, sucks but not worth spending hours troubleshooting. oh well.

on the bright side, i’m RETVRN-ing to my old reliable, linux mint with xfce. i’ll miss hot corner and the other niceties that gnome has but xfce will be a bit more comfortable for me.

    First, it’s a right of passage. You should be happy.

    Second - it’s only a failure if you learn nothing. Spend the time, learn what you did, know better next time. That’s how you learn.
