So here’s the situation. This kid on Discord with a Hackerman profile picture is telling you that they are going to “hack your IP address” and “DDOS your Wi-Fi router” using Kali Linux or Parrot OS or something. They might even send you a screenshot of some sort of “hacking command”.

GNOME is currently one of the most polished and well-integrated desktop environments present, and it has a huge community of people who like it. I myself really like its workflow and don’t really do that many changes to the default settings. (Oh, and by the way, I am using the default GNOME installation on Debian using the gnome metapackage.) So today I am going to talk about Stepping up your GNOME. (*laughter sound effects*)
