Time to share stories about stupid things you did, when you knew better :)
Mostly to cheer me up, as I hosed my system last night.
The perfect storm of "Stuff I should have known better" :
Updated from 10.10 to 11.4 alpha. This worked pretty good.
Decided I wanted to check out gnome-shell.
Hm, version in repo's dont work yet.
Okay, add the PPA from the gnome3 guys.
Install it, and a bunch of other updates.
Well, gnome-shell doesn't work and now Gnome looks like it did when I installed Warty Warthog years ago
Well, Ive been meaning to go with KDE for a while, so install that, and remove all the gnome stuff.
KDE runs great, if a bit slow. We'll use it for a week or two, and then decide.
This morning, my computer refuses to boot, except, possibly, to a command line (half and half chance it seems).
In hindsight, should have known better :)
So cheer me up with stories of your stupidity :D
