    Asking because in arch you can basically just arch-chroot into your system and repair pretty much any fuckup

    My Arch: Base + Xorg + Budgie. Never broke it. Maybe it's because all of my apps are in docker containers ... :) Thanks jazzfraz: https://github.com/jessfraz/...

    It's an excuse to update, or even try a new distro.

    Well at least you can't broke a Gentoo pc xP take some time to install though.

    Edit: well okay you can, if you manually delete some parts of the package manager. At least when you're trying to install everything x) I did it one time :'D

    @dontPanic you can chroot in to any Linux system and repair it. Most have recovery in bootloader nowadays too.
    Probably the OP just doesn't know how to repair it.

    @xsacha Well, except if the fuckup is filesystem related. A paranoid user might do multiple dd passes to clear up a disk, only to realize that dev/sda2 was NOT the temporary partition with bomb building instruction pdfs and Asian scat porn.
