1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    This is like the Linux equivalent of deleting system32

    [–] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 53 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 13 points 11 months ago

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

    [–] silliewous@feddit.nl 35 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

    [–] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 11 months ago

    I think we sound test that.

    For skyense.

    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.

    [–] lightnegative@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Is it system32 or SySWow64 these days?

    [–] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 7 points 11 months ago

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

    [–] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 1 points 11 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.
