I browse by /New and I see the same question over and over. Why? I mean… what’s the point? I’m pretty sure you’re not a chatbot, but what you are doing is very inefficient. When I started learning Linux, fucking things up was mandatory to learn, and deleting a directory would have been done in a few hours without previous knowledge.

You have been working on this stupid folder for days. A name that will never exist in a real situation. My advice: uninstall WSL, reinstall WSL, and move on.

Are you serious about that ? Me uninstalling wsl and then reinstalling it ??

one_old_coder@piefed.social · 24 days ago

Yes. It’s a 15 minutes job. I did the equivalent a hundred times when I was learning, and I had no web site or community to help me.

RTFM, lurk more, etc.

Probably there was no internet ??

But you had some professor to guide you, but l’m doing an online course. There’s a help community on discord, which l found very unhelpful.

I installed the WSL with the instructions of Gemini, but l’ve got to use my discernment while using such instructions.

No, only man pages.

Have you uninstalled WSL yet? Here: https://superuser.com/q/1317883. Also AI sucks, read the official documentation from Microsoft.

I found this a very helpful link.

I’ll be sitting down at the laptop a bit later.

That’s a super link. Thanks 😊😊

Hi there… See this…

First sentences:

The WSL commands below are listed in a format supported by PowerShell or Windows Command Prompt. To run these commands from a Bash / Linux distribution command line, you must replace wsl with wsl.exe

wsl.exe --uninstall or something

Less replying, more typing. Unplug your ethernet cable for better learning.
