You seem very fixed in your opinion that I'm some sort of crybaby. You must remember that there are people that have less knowledge than you have. I installed Linux because of people here suggesting it, with exactly the amount of knowledge you would have if you never bothered with operating systems before, so, none.

There have been problems with it. First I had to fix the system staying black after waking up from sleep. Then the webcam stopped working. Now it doesn't even boot anymore.

expects someone else to fix your shit for free

Actually, not at all. I looked for paid support options as well, but didn't find any that looked reputable.

How valuable is the data on your laptop? Did you have it backed up? If so, stop worrying and just take the Windows approach.

Not extremely, however it's extremely surprising that you would suggest me to use Windows. I'm as unfamiliar with it as Linux.

This may help How to as Smart Questions

Look at my original question. I'm literally trying to find out information like the one you posted in this guide. Thank you for offering that, but there really was no need to be condescending about me together with it, accusing me of being lazy. I tried to figure it out, but I just have no knowledge to even search effectively.

To fix you need to mount it on another booted OS...

Thanks but that was the problem, I'm travelling and don't know where to get another OS to boot to from.
