R@inaba that's the tool I used. I created two partitions, one Linux swap with 32gb, one ext4 and keep two ntfs from windows since I have all my data there.
Used fdisk to clear the swap partition in emergency mode and fucked up even more.
The colors are now red... Does that mean I fucked up bad.? -
Any tips or tutorial links to solve this without deleting the other partitions?

inaba45896y@GyroGearloose It doesn't look like anything I've ever seen before. Better check your local search engine

@inaba thanks, I know what I did.
I deleted one ftps partition and created a swap with 32gb and a ext4 with almost 900gb since the disk is 3tb. So I did something wrong. -
One joint, two π», a prompt in front of me (root@meMint:/) and 25% π on my π±to π¦π¦ Go.
Btw this emoji update on swift (android keyboard, my fav since 2.3) is kwel -
Yey I did it, first Linux brake and it was a easy one... Only had to delete the links in fstab for the old partition. Stupid feature

@theKarlisK Nah...
First tip after fucking something up... Don't fuck it more...
My first problem right after the install was to access the disks with write, so I had to link the partitions, which placed the links in the fstab ...
Because it took me an afternoon to do that (with lots of research, not to do it, because only took me an hour, but to find out better ways to do it). Luckily only needed to delete the partition from fstab file :D -
@theKarlisK Well, I just found out that Linux Mint file explorer mounts the drives if I click on them...
This actualy gives a bost in security, since the drive with my personal files will only work when I access it (lasts longer), Also I'm saving all my code, documents, manuals I'm creating and such online, So having them unmounted is the best option, since I'm just one click away to mount.
I'm actualy clearing all the entries I've added for the other partitions on the second drive so they start unmounted -
Well, I'm breaking the system again... If I crash it I'll tell ya in 5 minutes lol
Creating the 32gb swap partition again. Also deleting the other partitions from fstab (except the swap) -
Fucked Linux again, this time I won't even try.
Down: reinstall
Up: kept the USB 3.0 instalation USB π
Up: been saving everything online, no important data loss
Up: already learned from my mistakes, so I'll get a fresh start.
Down: using Google and Firefox services online to save my bookmarks and passwords, good part: no lost passwords, bad part: big breach of security.
I'll chose the less secure until I'm more experienced...
