Linux: Pain will be your teacher.
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.
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
I’m a good user on a very broken system
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.
initrd? Sounds like bloat, I’m deleting it.
… and the irony that Windows can also fuck up your bootloader in a dual boot scenario.
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
I once unistalled edge and now Teams app doesn’t work too. So I unistalled it too. Now I use Teams on Firefox
