[SOLVED] bashrc changed
#1

Hi there. I'm a relatively new user and I'm really enjoying the new goodies (updated kernels, gtk apps, xfce version).

However, I wanted to point out a default behavior that (unless I did something wrong myself) feels a bit reckless: the update appears to have overridden my user's .bashrc. My .bashrc is a symlink to a git repo (a common practice), so this even propagated through my config repo.

In my opinion, system upgrades should only change system files (and leave behind backup copies if they could have been manually modified).

In the meantime, restore your bashrc content from the Timeshift backup, providing you followed the announcement advice.

Thanks for the quick fix! And no worries, the point of using version control for config is I can easily roll back. It just took me by surprise.
