Look, if we want to spend 6 hours rebuilding our MBR/GPT, bootsector, and efi partition from scratch, using our grandfather's butterfly, we should be allowed to. Insert angry xkcd here.
There's always a relevant XKCD, isn't there?
This reminds me of my favorite (slightly off topic) https://xkcd.com/705/
Although honestly, these days we could probably do it in about 2 minutes, blindfolded, with our hands tied behind our backs. Damn, the tools have gotten better, haven't they?
This is a fact and a half. Ihave been using linux on and off for a headless Minecraft server. Vanilla Debian. Yesterday I decided to load up the latest Ubuntu lts, to run stable diffusion. My first end user linux install in ages. And it was a 15 minute seamless experience. From boot ISO to running a normal functioning desktop. Add another hoiur and stable diffusion was up and running. A far cry from building slackware from, from source, in the early 2000s. It truly is amazing when we consider what has been achieved.
Don’t worry, there’s still Gentoo and LFS if you’re a Linux masochist.
That could be fun. I am just amazed at how far the ecosystem has come. Just for kicks I tried getting steam up and running and got fallout 76 running through their compatibility tools in no time i knew the steam deck pushed that along, but did not realise exactly how far it has been pushed. Itay be time to give it a run again as a daily driver.
