I just ruined both my windows 10 and debian OS :)

    It takes a serious amount of ignorant actions to pull that off

    @Kimmax not really, all it took is to upgrade debian jessie to stretch, that fucked the radron drivers. Went on to windows to recover my files so I can reinstall, accidentally filled my desktop with vim plugin files and couldn't use the taskbar or desktop anymore as it would constantly crash

    @DirtyBit meeeh
    Not really ruined. Can still be fixed. Just boot to shell / single user and remove / blacklist the broken kernel module. After that mount the windows partition and clean up the mess you made
    ???
    Profit

    Guess debian can be recovered, for windows 10, this probably was an indication for you to abandon it.

    @Kimmax I'm new to linux so I have no idea what to do with the kernel. That was a fresh debian install anyways, only 3 days old, so I decided to wipe and install stretch

    @sachin38 I know, I hate Windows but couldn't be bothered switching my desktop to linux, especially since my old monitor has so weird colour issues

    Why do you need windows anyway

    Well when I was using Ubuntu steam was quite satisfying

    @DirtyBit hello, any luck yet? That screen seemed pretty screwed up

    @jpichardo yep completely wiped the partition, shrinked my storage volume to give me a little more space and installed a stretch image right away instead of jessie and update to stretch. Only issue is my old monitor is crap and with the open source amd driver instead of fglrx the colours are even worse than they usually are, and hurt my eyes because of how cold they are..

    @DirtyBit how can a color be cold? Oh and cool that almost everything is working

    @jpichardo they have a lot of blue, but my usual settings have reduced blues and a little more reds, making them warmer. It's kind of like installing f.lux except it doesn't look like complete shit

    @DirtyBit you mean it doesn't look like a damn sepia picture?

    @jpichardo yes, the whites are only slightly pink-ish

    It seems to be late now, but you could try running windows in safe mode to resolve the issue.

    You really learn to use Linux when you fix such things

    @Kimmax I've learned a ton in the past few days installing debian and i3 gaps

    Somehow merge them both with a Mac?
