thanks! it’s actually based on a true story. when i got into kali and hacker shit three years ago (i was recovering from a traumatic brain injury and was quite literally insane) i couldn’t figure out how to make the text on arch bigger so i went to linuxquestions.org
i’m just going with kali for now, but thanks! :)
i’m just gonna go with kali. so yeah that’s the final update, i’m going with kali because it has a GUI (I like the GUI+terminal combo) and i wanna do shit with cybersec.
i checked. turns out my arch doesn’t have any font support so i just deleted the whole thing. gonna try fedora or debian
i think so too…i’m also gonna try debian (i’ve used ubuntu before)
mine doesn’t have a GUI. shit looks like what my dad coded on when he was in grad school.
i did some research and ran some greps and i think i found the problem. i’m using a serial terminal, not a framebuffer console, in other words there’s no custom font support at all. hmmmm. kind weird. well i just freed up a shit ton of space on my laptop so i’ll just download another arch and see if that one doesn’t suck
checking out setfont right now. i’m in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts and the fonts are all there, but when i try setfont it says it doesn’t work for this particulal kernel. tried a few fonts so far
ok well i installed arch just fine, no issues with getting everything up and running. i just noticed that the “make text bigger” shortcut that works for my mac terminal didn’t work with arch, so i did some googling and still couldn’t find anything
right now i think i’m just gonna go with fedora, unless you or someone else can convince me otherwise. i like the UI better and, ngl, i’m not like a whiz with software so i don’t know how to customize like every little thing. so i think fedora is a better fit for me because it looks a LOT nicer and it comes with some shit preinstalled
sometimes OP is indeed bad

you shoulda seen how inefficient the first draft was, i just fuckin catted ls -R ~ into grep. i am not a smart man.
typo
computer explode
i always just ignore the errors but as someone else said, there is a better way to do it. i’m a total fucking linux n00b, but i do use the shell all the time, so i can make my wway around a bash terminal
also not aware of how bad they smell because they’ve gone noseblind
GNOME Files (Nautilus) doesn’t have a setting that lets you switch between file type icons and app icons. That’s one thing that makes GNOME different from Windows. There might be a workaround, though, you could try a different file manager, but I’m not aware of one that specificall yimplements the kind of app-based icons you get with Windows
