Something I'm learning in my adventures in Linux is that it's vital to have a second, working computer with you in order to search for ways to fix the thing you've just massively broken.

The previous toot brought to you by a man who just tried to install KDE Plasma on his ancient MacBook Pro running MX Linux, which somehow didn't install, well, anything apart from the menu panel, the cursor, and the file manager. I couldn't log out because the menu couldn't load, and because the menu couldn't load I couldn't open a terminal window.

God bless my working Mac.

(I right clicked a folder in the file explorer, opened it in a terminal window, then logged out from there)

Apparently ctrl+alt+T will open a terminal window, but no one told my old MacBook that, because nope.

My toot this morning has very much caught the attention of the Linux fingerers.

Shot of a very, very young Alan Partridge. He looks worried and is saying "These are Linux people. They're distro swappers!"
