  Even my parents haven’t screwed up the Linux Mint I set up for them to use. I’m super curious what in the world breaks it so bad that it doesnt boot.

    It’s definitively something along the lines of “knows just enough to be dangerous”

    Like, sure, I’ve also broken my Linux system, but I’m deliberately running distros like arch and doing things that the average user would never do, like, say, messing with the bootloader.

    If you just install something like bazzite or mint, and use it like a normal user would, the risk for something breaking should be really low

      Yep. I’m fortunate enough to be on the other side of the curve, but “it just breaks” when you first start tinkering. The average computer user who will never open the terminal will never run into this problem

    This happened to me when I installed a new GPU.

    Probably Arch or Fedora
