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.

    I’ve uninstalled every kernel to free to space more than once…

      fml I’ve got a debian build on what used to be my daily driver until I somehow managed to completely eff the kernel and headers. This was my first time using LVM and I still don’t know how, but the last time I updated the kernel and headers they installed to not my user-space of choice but to the parent encrypted volume. Not realizing what I had done wrong I then proceeded to autoremove and next reboot… bricked.

      Have tried multiple ways to get it back, nothing profitable yet. At least I can still access the file system and have taken everything off that I wanted. Haven’t gotten around to format/reinstall. Won’t be carelessly working with kernels again that’s for sure.
