How did you learn to use a computer? I did it mostly by trying random
things to see what they did.
How many times did you hit ctrl-alt-backspace before you realized you
shouldn't be pressing that key combination at random?
Twice - the second time to see if this bizarre behaviour was
reproducible.
Did you do a lot of really important work first and not save it before
you started pressing random keys to test and see what they do?
No, I lost no significant amount of useful work. But I also spent some
time wondering why Linux needed a "Throw my work away without
confirmation" hotkey. The times I've hit it by accident /since/ then
have occasionally led to me losing something useful.
it's not a "throw away my work without confirmation key" (well it is for
those stupid/blind/lazy enough to hit it by mistake but i digress) and
i'd thank you to stop trying to portray it that way to get your change
to stick (it's clearly obvious that you think this change is necesary),
it's a save me from re-booting my pc when x totally screws up, and yes
regardless of your coding prowess it still does screw up!
