You'll want a -a on that cp to preserve permissions.

usermod -l and a symlink is my plan.

Nice plan, I used a symlink to quickly heal fixed paths in configs like

ln -s /home/NewAffirmingName/ /home/OldName/

That way if a setting I transferred over is trying to pull a file from /home/OldName/Gamesave instead of ~/Gamesave it will still work... unless it doesn't recognize symlinks... but for a lot of stuff it has been working.

I finally did this earlier today :)

Congrats!

I know I felt pretty awesome when I did it. Infinitely better than what I had previously, not only was my account name dated, but I had a picture of me before I grew my hair out as the account picture...

I hated it every time it popped up.

Im happy to say, I have zero proper security practices, 90% of my machines run as root >:3 also CONFIG_MULTIUSER=N is something I have done, so I funny enough cannot relate

That’s super cool, I will have to take a look at that later!

Bit off topic, but what's the purpose of the '.[^.]*’ regex there? Wouldn't a wildcard * character suffice?

And Here I was thinking how naming my host "Archbtw" would be super original :(.

I want to do this but I'm scared of my transphobic parents seeing it
