Linux does let you fuck around and find out lol
But then you find out, and you learn, and we become better users for it.
I’m a good user on a very broken system
True, I only broke my boot twice… Never again
With the number of times I have done the live distro chroot thing you’d think I would have the procedure memorized
Linux does not “let you fuck around” in fact its says “you are root and if you root I assume u know what you do!”
And yeah i learned that the hard way when it didnt threw any errors at me doing stuff as root…
10/10 would do it again!
I’ve forgotten i was root, thought I was back to normal user, fat fingered a command, and removed tons of directories. I actually learn more fixing my fuck ups than when I reading books. Nothing like pressure to really focus you!
The best teacher is a fuck up
A mistake in Linux can cause it to uninstall its bootloader.
A mistake in Windows can also cause it to uninstalling Linux’s bootloader.
Linux: Pain will be your teacher.
initrd? Sounds like bloat, I’m deleting it.
I’ve debloated my OS down to a typewriter.
Not going to lie. Many years ago on one of my first Linux installs that I actually built up to be more than just a dev playground, I deleted my bootloader… it just let me do that, no scary confirm. That is the day I learned Linux is guardrails-off, lol.
My personal hurdle as teenager always was having to keep windows on same disk for my sisters to use while struggling to install Linux besides it so I could have that semi transparent terminal like in the movies. Can’t even count how many times I’ve bricked bootloader because of that, but when it worked I felt like I’m a president
… and the irony that Windows can also fuck up your bootloader in a dual boot scenario.
I once unistalled edge and now Teams app doesn’t work too. So I unistalled it too. Now I use Teams on Firefox
