    Not going to lie. Many years ago on one of my first Linux installs that I actually built up to be more than just a dev playground, I deleted my bootloader… it just let me do that, no scary confirm. That is the day I learned Linux is guardrails-off, lol.

      My personal hurdle as teenager always was having to keep windows on same disk for my sisters to use while struggling to install Linux besides it so I could have that semi transparent terminal like in the movies. Can’t even count how many times I’ve bricked bootloader because of that, but when it worked I felt like I’m a president
