Yay just broke my Linux and had to reinstall 👌

#idontneedbackups :)

Which distro did you have?

Asking because in arch you can basically just arch-chroot into your system and repair pretty much any fuckup

Truly a rite of passage

@dontPanic solus

Try Arch + Budgie Desktop. Never had a better combo.

Same story here. Broke it a lot of times but learned a lot from it

@Kryptic0 hey! I just checked it out and it's pretty good! Imma try it out in a VM tomorrow. Thanks man

My Arch: Base + Xorg + Budgie. Never broke it. Maybe it's because all of my apps are in docker containers ... :) Thanks jazzfraz: https://github.com/jessfraz/...

@dontPanic you should its really nice the only reason it broke because i did something, its a really solid, fast OS

Reinstall is for windows

How do you break Linux?

@berserkcoder uninstall libssl

It's an excuse to update, or even try a new distro.

Well at least you can't broke a Gentoo pc xP take some time to install though.

Edit: well okay you can, if you manually delete some parts of the package manager. At least when you're trying to install everything x) I did it one time :'D

@dontPanic you can chroot in to any Linux system and repair it. Most have recovery in bootloader nowadays too.
Probably the OP just doesn't know how to repair it.

@xsacha yup

@xsacha Well, except if the fuckup is filesystem related. A paranoid user might do multiple dd passes to clear up a disk, only to realize that dev/sda2 was NOT the temporary partition with bomb building instruction pdfs and Asian scat porn.
