So I got this weird bug – I updated my Pop_OS install and now Linux doesn’t boot anymore. I should probably boot from USB and fix this. I could figure it out on my own, but maybe it will be good knowledge for people searching on engines so any advice is welcome. Windows still boots properly. Let’s give people some alternatives to reddit :)

    I’m on my phone so idk how to do the quotes

    Np, fam. FWIW, try on a new line (without quotes) the following:

    “>” <text you wish to quote>

    This should work.

    Yes so what

    I hope you’ll notice this time how you’re being dismissive :P .

    that doesn’t address my point that desktop pc computing for the majority of computers users is on the decline from my completely shitty anecdotal points most normal non tech people I know literally use their phones or tvs as computers.

    So you attempt to draw attention to an observation. The observation being that: 30 (or so) years ago, interaction with a ‘computer’ happened mostly in the form of a desktop PC. This was also mostly reserved to those that were techie enough. Contrast that to current day; in which most of us interact with a ‘computer’ (even my (mostly) illiterate grandma), but the desktop PC has been replaced as a main avenue. Instead, their phones have become their go-to ‘computers’.

    This is an observation; therefore I can’t disagree with the observation. But what’s the point you want to make using this observation?

    Wow now who’s being dismissive?

    If I do an honest attempt to explain why 1 + 1 = 2 and you don’t get/see/understand it, then I’m just being sensible by moving on; especially, as you’re drunk. I’m just betting that you can make sense of it when you’re sober. If you can’t in the morning, then please point out the dissonance and I’ll try a second honest attempt.

    I didn’t share any misinformation

    Your very first comment contained misinformation. You probs forgot about it.


    Regarding the part of the desktop PC going extinct except for specific use cases, -again- I never implied the contrary. You’re now at the point that I started. If you never left your starting point, then consider this the result of miscommunication. I’d argue you were to blame, but I digress.

            I’m fine if you will just return to the part found below:
