Bailing out. You are on your own. Good luck!
Well fuck...
WARNING: /boot appears to be a separate partition but is not mounted. You probably just broke your system. Congratulations.
Is that a real error message in Linux?
Yes
This principle applies to the GNU C compiler also. Any other compiler is going to complain at you for not adhering to their stupid style guide, or for not using their proprietary "mEmOrY sAfE" libraries. But if GCC is giving you warnings, you darn well better fix something.
Yes, do as I say! 🗿
uninstalls essential package
Why is my system broken? :O
LTT moment
the average brain on Windows...
"wdym a different OS doesn't behave exactly like Winsows? That just means it's bad!"
"It's Linux' fault that my proprietary software/configurator for overpriced hardware gimmicks isn't working and definitely not just the vendor not giving enough of a shit to provide support (or at least help with community drivers) on other platforms as well!!1!"
Windows warning is like the check engine light in your car, ignore till it starts being a problem lmao
For the record, if your check engine light is ever blinking, you need to immediately shut off your engine.
Shit is going very very wrong in your engine at that point, to the extent that it might cause an energetic catastrophic failure.
Interesting, I've never heard of that. What does it blinking signify?
In my case it meant the cilinders were scrapping against the block with zero lube
My wife hates it when that happens
It can mean a misfire too.
I had an old accord that basically lost a cylinder (blew a valve or something) but could still drive down the road with check engine blinking because that cylinder was “misfiring.”
It happened far away from home too. I drove several dozen miles with my unintentional 3 cylinder swap.
To be fair, it can also mean "one of my fucking radiator fans is not responding quickly enough to computer control"
Which was not a fun experience when that happened to me, full fucking BEEP BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER with a check engine and a STOP sign blaring on the digital system display panel, made me panic out of my mind because a radiator fan was a removed
Imminent catastrophic failure.
Misfiring in my experience
Typically it'll happen when your engine misfires due to an ignition coil crapping out. So the engine is now firing on only 3 cylinders if it's a 4cyl
So you're telling me I should just turn up the volume instead of fixing my install ?
My favorite error message of all times:
You don't exist, go away!
If you have a problem just sudo it away.
sudo rm debt
Throw in an '-rf' for good measure
If that works, I'm switching to linux
One you actually care about while the other... blows wind.
My broken pipe on update error doesn’t come up often enough to properly deal with and every possible cause I have found hasn’t applied
Heck, I have errors in windows log that are just "sure, let's move on".
