Follow-up from “Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?”.

Here’s mine - the laptop from which I’m typing right now has a broken touchpad that keeps jumping and clicking randomly, and does not work. Well, I can’t afford to fix it, but at the moment, I was so pissed off I punched the touchpad really hard, and the machine panicked with all the lights blinking. A few more revival abuses, and the machine was back to life, but since I was running a nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade in the background, I blew off my boot partition. I think I just broke the unbreakable distro.

    This thread is amazing. My own fuckups:

    • Tried upgrading Ubuntu
    • Closed laptop while updating
    • I bork bootloaders with concerning regularity
    • While experimenting with writing a PKGBUILD for some personal scripts, ignored a warning having to do with a conflict on /bin. Blew away that symlink.
