  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    This is like the Linux equivalent of deleting system32

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

    On Debian you can actually change init systems. Don't know how hard it is and you are probably meant to install a new one after removing systemd, but it is possible at least.

    But system32 contains the NT kernel as well, so that's worse. Uninstalling your init system on a Linux distro still leaves you with single user mode. You could probably reinstall an init system from there.

    Is it system32 or SySWow64 these days?

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

    System32 holds the 64-bit stuff and SysWOW64 holds the 32-bit stuff. This makes complete and total sense.

    Nah, more like deleting explorer.exe.

    There's isn't really a Windows equivalent for this, as Windows doesn't give you control on this level.

    It'd be as if you could delete services.msc but also the runner behind it.

    I did delete explorer.exe on an earlier iteration of Windows (possibly 98SE). I've just restored it with Windows Commander (now TCMD).

    I don’t think you’ll get a cli if you delete system32.

    I think we sound test that.

    For skyense.
