  • Oops, shouldve probably explained it in the post.

    ssd= server side decorations

    server side decorations is when the system draws the titlebar, as opposed to client side decorations (csd) where the applications draws it.

    for example, gnome uses csd, but kde uses ssd.

    There’s debate over which is better, but the main difference is that csd allows applications to put anything in the titlebar, which can make the design nicer, and ssd allows the titlebars on all apps to be consistent, which I personally value more.















  • in case you aren’t joking, rm -rf / (albiet with a warning now) will delete allll the files on your system, so everything going black is the expected result.

    rm is remove, the - is to indicate that you want to pass arguments, and r&f are recursive (delete stuff in the folders in this folder) and force (don’t ask for confirmation). The slash afterwards designates the root folder, the folder with everything in it.

    So “rm -rf /” means “remove, recursively and forcefully, everything in the / directory”
