    I’m sure you could have fixed it with GRUB Rescue. It’s slightly annoying, but it isn’t that hard to get booted from that. Once you get it to boot then you can fix things.

    Don’t give up so quickly next time. It’s useful to learn how to fix it instead of just accepting failure and resetting everything.









  • Discord has quite a few good features that IRC doesn’t. I will agree that it being used as a replacement for a forum, while also being unsearchable, is amazingly stupid. However, it’s used by almost everyone for a reason, and to ignore that (if you were to develop and alternative) ensures you won’t succeed. Yeah, we don’t need every feature from Discord, but easy voice/text/video chats, image/file sharing, and all the other useful things are required. Yeah, we can probably lose the emotes and crap and be fine.



  • It’s possible to keep all your binaries and config files on a separate partition and mount them in the root directory to be used with multiple distros. I’m not sure how well this would work if you’re switching to a very different distro though. I haven’t tried this, so it may be a very bad idea. I know it’s possible though.


  • I used Ubuntu and Mint ages ago, used Fedora when I switched to Linux full time a few years ago, and now I’m on Garuda. Basically, I’m aware of “The Valley of Despair” but refuse to enter it. I’m perfectly happy letting distro maintainers do most of the hard work. I have very little interest in raw dogging Arch, but Arch-based distros that put everything together in a nice package are great!
