I think I killed Some Pythons

This morning I woke up and began the day with a Fatal Error involving a Python.
This Python had something wrong with it and it meant I was unable to write.
It had its jaws round my Word Processor.
All day I fought and then I found there was a central python fighting another python.
Which meant removing some pies.
I think.
To be honest I have no clue.
Just a few learning outcomes like installing a younger python over an older one on my laptop solved nothing.
If, like me, you do not speak Python this is a silly thing to do because Pythons fight each other.
In case you understand a word of this. In Ubuntu 16.O4 if you get the fatal error message when opening Libre Office then take the OS back to factory settings then uninstall as many pys as you can. Sooner or later you will remove whatever was fatal and your Word Processor will live again.
This post will only be understood by Linux Users, but anyone who actually knows what they are doing will tell me I am off my head.
I don't care. It worked....Eventually.
I am still not going back to Microsoft!

I haven't a clue what this is about but I gather it is a different operating system about which I know nothing lol but I am very glad all is well again.

@BelleStarr Some parts of the day it felt like snakes had waten the word processor though. Losing it would have been like a bad dream.

Ubuntu is a Linux based OS. Libre Office would not work. Libre Office is a a Word Processor. Most people use Microsoft, but Microsoft is expensive and I found Ubuntu which is free and restored my laptop when Windows broke. I think Python is the programming language used.

I am perfectly at home using either Windows or Linux, which I occasionally alternate.
As for Python, despite being fully aware what it is I never really bother with such programming languages or codes. It is in use in Microsoft Windows as well as Linux utilities. In particular I believe it is sometimes used in conjunction with Visual Basic and occasionally in Microsoft Access, but since I use neither I cannot specify further.

Oh I don't know. My ex husband once said I had the wrong kind of brain to be a programmer and I have always wanted to learn how. Linux kind of helps me towards the dream because you have to write code into a terminal. I copy and paste, but as I do so and change things I kind of learn how it all works.

Dear Auntie Freya the Catblog Cat's Human,
My human said that if she had Pythons in her computer, she would have a cow. I told her no, she would have pie. She insisted, no, she would have a cow. Humans are quite strange. I found out that the only two classes my human ever failed were Computer Science and Bowling. I have no idea how she could have a problem with bowls. I manage them just fine.

Dear Hucks, I really have no idea what my Human is up ro. She said there were more Pythons she had to get rid of in her laptop yesterday. I tried to be helpful and sit on them, but she said that did not help. I amnnot sure what a cow is, but I think Human 1 has I when she discovered more Pythons or pys. She muttered some wierd stuff abuut terminals and code " sudo apt-get autoremove' which she said revealed all the extra python stuff and killed it.
I am not sure if that waa clever or not. As for bowls. I am having trouble with mine asvthe food keeps escaping onto the floor, so I am going to get a new one. I am holding out for somrthing silver with suction to keep it still on the floor and a nuce mat to go underneath. Love frim Auntie Freyaxx

@OldRoadsOnceTraveled Dear Hucks, I am sure you would be a great help. Human 1 found some more in her laptop and had to zap them. Love from Auntie Freya TCCxx

@Jackalyn Dear Auntie Freya the Catblog Cat,
I would probably be good at killing Pythons. I don't know what they are, but I am good at killing bugs, so I don't know why I wouldn't be.

Wow, I hope you get that computer error fixed. I have wanted to try Ubuntu for awhile, but I'm a Microsoft chicken and too scared to change

I like Microsoft the most it is a good program to have on your computer.

Well, at least you explained yourself, sort of. If you have problems again, I think that Barry knows such things, or is it DE, I don't remember exactly who now.
