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.
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
A mistake in Linux can cause it to uninstall its bootloader.
A mistake in Windows can also cause it to uninstalling Linux’s bootloader.
I’ve debloated my OS down to a typewriter.
initrd? Sounds like bloat, I’m deleting it.
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
