    I was installing Linux normally, but messed up the partitioning, so instead of root, boot/efi and /home. I mounted root to Efi, so every change to Root doubled to EFI and so one. I wasn’t aware of this until some months ago my /dev/sda1 with / was over the space limit. So I went to check, noticed that /boot/efi is like 30 GiB in size, casually wrote “rm -rf boot/efi/” and because my root and efi were mostly linked and copied each other, the command run as if I ran “rm -rf /” and borked my install.

    Be careful with partitioning, or better yet, don’t partition manually ar 2am
