Nothing happened because he forgot to uncomment the commands
im_stuff.jpg#is for rootI have been using Linux for 3 years,
And I just learned this from your comment
That’s kind of great, because root is not intended for regular users.
How can that be true when nearly every command asks for root, including regular system updates? E.g: Sudo apt-get upgrade
That’s what “sudo” does, it basically means run this as if you were logged in as root.
ALWAYS be careful of the disk names you give to dd as input.
There’s a reason they call ‘dd’ Data Destroyer!
Took me a whole to realize
Can you dd over a still mounted disk?
Probably, dd doesn’t care. dd does what it is told.
Though there would probably be some weird effects.
[X] I ran dd and now my computer won’t boot
Sure it will, to the iso you just overwrote your boot drive with lmao
You guys are still using SATA?
Shhh let’s pretend we are for Groo’s sake here.
Although in all seriousness, my desktop has both: a 512 GB NVMe where the OS and apps are installed and a 2 TB 7200 rpm HDD where I dump data and some slower games.
It’s insane how much more affordable NVMEs are. When I got my 2tb it was almost three times as much as it is now.
Though, why formating a partition when it’s completely overriden in the very next command. Also you won’t be able to boot it anyways, you should flash the entire disk, not a partition.
Not needed, just an extra step to fill up step 2 in this meme format.
After wiping a backup drive, I decided to only use
/dev/disk/{by-id,by-label}/now, it is longer, but much less error prone.That’s what tab complete is for.
It’s ok though, you had a backup. Right? You had a backup?
[insert Anakin & Padme meme]
Where my Linux 😔
This is dumb, the is no point in using mkfs just before dding an ISO on a drive, even if it is the wrong one.
That was just an extra step to fit this 4 layer meme format. fdisk -l on the first would have been better instead as others have pointed out.
That, but also the canvas on the last 2 could have just been blank too. It’s common in this format, and also makes sense
destroydisk
