Froot75547yNot trying to be a dick or anything but that could be why business people use Windows π€
I hope you get it working and didn't lose any work π -
@Froot didnt lose any work cause, backups yay. Still it bugged me out since a seemlingly insignificant change like a theme made the desktop break. About 'not being a dick', it is very rare that a desktop environment just breaks, sure not everything is perfect, especially where gnome shell extensions are involved, but it is darn pretty stable.
As for windows... It can go batshit crazy too. Admitted, not when changing to default theme, but it also has it's defects like the explorer exe suddenly hanging while doing... Nothing at all.
As for business use concerned, is gnome usable for business? Yes, if tweaked. Is it a pain in the ass? No, except in these very rare occasions.
Is windows usable for business? Yes if you're the masochist type. Is it a pain in the ass? Yes, see the vast amount of windows update rants... -
Froot75547y@NeatNerdPrime I just stated the fact that many accountants, analysts, etc use Windows βΊοΈ It's most likely at least in part because MS Office since they use that alot

practiseSafeHex30My morning: Me: Why did you just delete the failing unit tests? Intern: I debugged it for a while and found ...
Fucking fuck shit monkeycocksucking gargling wtf!
I was getting some stuff done in my accounting software and it bugged me that the fields were dark and the fonts as well, thus seeing fucking shit. This was clearly a bad choice of a gtk3 dark theme, thus i switched to the fucking default adwaita, suddenly gnome session crashes.
Ok, i just log out and log back in.
Logout.... Nothing happens.... Ctrl-alt-backspace , nothing happens (and i knew i enabled that in the settings)
Ok let's do it a bit more forceful and restart the display manager... Gdm starts... I insert my credentials... It fucking crashes.
WTF!!!
I desperately try to debug it, xsession error msg'es? Nope. Something in /var/log/messages? Nope. Something, anything at all, nope sherlock nopedinope!
About to go batshit crazy, purging and reinstalling all of gnome, thibking that, what ever setting lust have broke it, it will be fixed now.
No fucking fuck desktop!!!
I lost my nerve and replaced gdm with lightdm, and i finally, after three hours wasted on my machine, i get my gnome desktop back... But in a state of mess! Extensions don't work and make it crash again, user themes? Nope, go fuck yourself with plain default.
I'm really losing my shit, business is almost non-existant, and now ly FUCKING desktop refuses to work like i want to. Everything is fucking broken to shits !!
I'm gon a go to my gf, and relax a little, at least i still have a working laptop.
Question is, for how long???
