Hello, first post here. Sorry if i'm posting in the wrong area.
And sorry for my English too, not my first language.
Usually i just read forums and almost never ask for help because i can find all the answers on Google, but today i completely gave up trying Linux for the first time.
I'm new at programming and i was studying for HTLM/CSS and JavaScript, since i was about for format my SDD's today i figured, why not install Ubuntu on one of them, so i can learn how to use since i will most probably have to work on that OS if i want to follow down that road professionally. It has been a complete nightmare trying to learn this OS.
Well, the experience started great, so clean and minimalist, love it, then went downhill. Had to look for a actual tutorial to put desktop icons(???), got the job done doing that for Mozilla and Chrome, but then i could never figured out how could i do a shortcut for Visual Code Studio, apperently it was different than Chrome/Mozilla for some reason. Gave up. I was losing so much time and people on internet were saying it would be easier just get used to favorites. Since my primary OS would always be Windows 10, i thought: ok, then be it.
Next i was messing with Terminal(horrible experience, i'm completely utter super noob using that, i don't know absolutely anything), then after installing the ZSH and the Oh My Zsh i figured i couldn't change the Theme because i lost the default screen and pass by it. This one:
Don't remember seeing this screen, so i did that:
"Linux
On Ubuntu-based distros, you can install zsh using: sudo apt-get install zsh. Once the installation completes, you can check the version using zsh --version, then make zsh your default shell using chsh -s $(which zsh). You’ll need to log out, then log back in for the changes to take effect."
When i use this parameter for default shell: chsh -s $(which zsh), nothing happened. Confirmed with the parameter zsh --version it was installed. Even after restarting/logging off couldn't see the default/grey screen. So people online said to clean the bash or something like that, i did and now i lost my Default User Profile. Created a new one and i realize i lost every configuration i did today at the afternoon.
If i log-off and click on the option below the new profile i created: "Not Listed" and type my last username and password i can get in again. But only doing that i can go inside. Also i lost my photo on my profile, won't show up. I have to always click now on "Not Listed" to log-in in the old profile. And now i can't delete the profile that i created before and neither the old profile shows up on the log-in screen.
TL;DR:
Messed up Terminal on bash/profile, lost my profile, created a new one, can't delete the new one, can't see the old one(even though i can "force log'-in)
Can i please have some help? Really sorry if i can't explain properly, it's not only confusing what's going on for me but it's also in english.
