BTRFS deciding it's corrupt and refusing even read only access.

Edit: You beat it by trashing the disk, using any other file system, restoring from backup and accepting any losses.

It would be General Failure reading the disc. I would fsck him up, and replace disc if necessary.

Yes, I know those may be different oses, but I was thinking multiplatform

Windows 11, the settings panel, a terrifying combination of old and new technology.

There is literally written that :q to exit!

If you read the clues, yes.

Grub Rescue

Same way you overcome any of life's challenges: decide it's impossible bullshit and move onto another game

I won't lie, I've considered almost totally giving up modern technology, and going back to refurbishing wristwatches like I did in my teens.

Analog/Digital? Hardly matters, as long as I can get parts..

Blue screen of death and you defeat it by installing linux.

Tsch, that's the opening sequence.

Where my freebsd homies at

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That looks purple to me, clearly not a BSOD.

For real though, a QR code for a kernel panic? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Seems dope, I mean, your computer don't work and retyping text is lame

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

I figured systemd is a 90s-JRPG boss with multiple phases taking over more and more of the screen.

You hold up a Slackware CD like some sort of vampires-and-faith-objects bit.

The shutdown button, a very anti climactic finale

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Who needs a button?

shutdown -s -f -t 0

Edited to include the missing -s argument

Not sure what the boss is, but SUDO

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

Instructions almost clear..

sudo uninstall windows

Mission accomplished. Synaptic is awesome, plus I wasn't using Skype anyways.

Figuring out how to print...nobody knows how to beat it yet, some just get lucky

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Network printer will change your life for the better.

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago

3D printers are easier to use than getting ink on paper and it's appalling

I say you've won an operating system once you've contributed code that got into its kernel

[โ€“] [email protected] 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The fear your code will break something one day and Linus will hunt you down will forever your thoughts.

Game over.

haunting you for the holiday ๐Ÿ‘ป

[โ€“] [email protected] 20 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Alright, have an upvote ๐Ÿ‘

But.. If you wrote the boss (or even just portions of it), then defeat the kernel boss you partly wrote, isn't that like cheating?

[โ€“] [email protected] 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Windows when you can activate it without giving MS your info. Of course, like so many final bosses, it tends to come back harder the next phase.

TempleOS, and you need to fight Terry Davis

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

We all know that CIA prison escape segment was harder than any of the bosses, though.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The secret final boss is Windows ME though...

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That game is too easy though, it crashes itself.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

You need to escort it through a very large minefield to designated spot or it will explode obliterating everything.
