  • I think I know what happened. Did you do something like PATH="/usr/bin/golang"?

    Because doing that overwrite your path variable. You need to set it like this:

    PATH="{PATH}:/usr/bin/golang" to append to the path.

    And well… I hope you got a backup of your /root/.bashrc or whatever you use as a terminal. Restoring it should fix it

    Edit: you should be able to use any program by appending /usr/bin/ to your commands, as long as it’s in this directory
















  • There’s a difference between helping people with misunderstanding a tool and belittling them for being wrong. It’s just a matter of wording that separate an helpful answer from a toxic one

    I could tell you “You should actually use Y instead of X. They are numerous benefits like A, B and C. The doc actually have a great example you may have missed or not understood it was for this purpose. It will help you a lot more than what you are thinking of doing.” And this would be fine.

    But “Just use Y. X is bad because Y is made for that. You not willing to use Y shouldn’t make you do X. There’s even a the first Google link on how to do it” isn’t fine.

    And I have not belittled them at all. I have said that it wasn’t what I was looking for. A lot of times people post questions they think should solve their issue, but only to realise that they didn’t fully understand the full picture and theirs problem is on a larger scale.
