I need to go over the lesson again. I need to study this post and the one I had made yesterday. No more questions tomorrow. Whatever glitches l come across, l shall ask as comments.

Can't really figure out, so many people have given me so many suggestions, which l tried out, but this particular folder refuses to budge due to some mysterious reason.

You don't learn the lesson again by disguising yourself and asking the question again. Are you a crazy person

You're changing the wrong variable. Comically wrong. This does not produce learning.

It still doesn't explain why you are switching between 5 (yes, five) accounts, and not answering our questions. For the reference:

Same AI picture, same questions about that specific folder that you could have nuked a long time ago.

How did you track all of my accounts ? Do l know you as some other account user ??

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 3 points 12 hours 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.

Next time, please try a community that fits your question like !linux4noobs@programming.dev or !linuxquestions@lemmy.zip

I can see how Explain Like I'm Five might seem right but it's usually meant for broader questions like "ELI5: why is the sky blue?" or "ELI5: can you explain that thing that is currently going on in the world?", not your homework.

How about ELI5: Why Trump chose to end the war with Iran ??

[-] dfyx@lemmy.helios42.de 1 points 12 hours ago

I‘m personally not a fan of politics questions but yes, that would fit.
