       @sa Bricked? Almost impossible (I think), because I can always find a way to recover the installation.Kernel panic? Yeah

       @selea @sa when I started in the mid 90ies I remember I accidentally rm'd some systemdirectories as root on my first Slackware install... It was easier to reinstall than to fix...😄

       @Tionisla I have done the same in the early 2000. And being a kid that did not understand stuff, I just reinstalled. But I later learned how to fix that specific problem - just boot to a older kernel ;)To my defence, I was 9.@sa

       @Tionisla But well, can you really "brick" Linux? Or is that a term that can only be applied to hardware?@sa

       @selea @sa I draw the line at "doesn't boot anymore". For example I'd to recover from a broken initrd, caused by a missing package dependency some years ago.I would also count every time graphics driver break the DE.
