We were all pretty useless to start with, good luck with your learning!

Thanks!

I’ve nuked and started again with Linux so many times at this point.

Did the usual ill-advised distro hopping instead of just using Mint, to see if the grass was greener… and it wasn’t.

So many distros couldn’t even load the live USB and locked up with a black screen.

Others would install… but then wouldn’t boot.

Others ran for various amounts of time before failing after an update.

At least now I’ve done what I should have done at the start and figured out Timeshift. If anything goes wrong again I’ll make sure I take the time to see if I can understand why, to learn from it.
