    I use Ubuntu and that is literally the coffee machine I use… Except I don’t use the actual cups, I’m basically only using it as a source of hot water, and instead I use different cups that are reusable, and just are there to hold the coffee grounds. And similarly, I got flathub on Ubuntu, installed shit to get appimages working, and accidentally uninstalled gnome at one point, which took me an hour to fix mostly because it just stopped at a terminal I couldn’t input anything on, so I had to figure out that I could open up a new one that would actually let me log in and reinstall gnome.

        The problem was more that I didn’t even know what I was looking at. It just stopped at a screen with terminal output from it booting up, so I thought it was just stuck… After a bit I found something on an arch forum that mentioned opening up a new terminal instance (or something like that), and how to do it, which led me to realize that gnome got uninstalled.

        Once I figured that out it only took 5 minutes to fix, but I only found that after an hour of assuming that it was frozen and trying to fix that.
