Re: Bash is weird now

The link to your image doesn't work because the it has 1 [ to many (the one just before https) .

Warning! The installation script install will overwrite your existing dot files! The script has only been tested on a freshly installed Arch Linux with GNOME. Use at your own risk!

You did backup your existing setup files ?

No. I was not sure what setup files it was talking about, and second, I did not know it would do that.

Remove all user configuration files (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bash#C … tion_files) and copy the default ones from /etc/skel.

I don't have a /etc/skel directory and I already deleted the files
