Leider nein, dazu hatte ich wenig Zeit weil ich selber das ganze Wochenende an etwas anderem gearbeitet habe. Die nächste Demo von hier doch etwas weiter weg war und ich nach der arbeiterei einfach zu fertig mit der Welt war um da noch Energie dafür aufzubringen.

Aber ich bin wirklich froh zu sehen wie viele dafür aktuell auf die Straße gehen und mit etwas Glück bekomme ich das selber auch noch zeitnah hin das auch selber noch zu tun.

Indeed, I recently had a discussion about just that with a family relative who is very adamant against wolves but then started complaining about all those beavers and deer over population. You can't make it up. Is it a good idea to control that wolf population? Probably yes, can that wolf population help with solving other issues? Probably yes.

All you really need to know is that said person failed upwards and then got into it's current position by a backroom deal that ignored the EU election results.

IMHO very questionable at least, at best not good in that position either.

Welcome to Linux! Enjoy the stay.

Now when it comes to me, I had my windows system break on me when I tried to diagnose a HDD issue and decided that since it's just a data drive I can just disconnect it and see if it was the right drive. How wrong I was, couldn't even get it to boot after that. So since I didn't like how windows 10 handled stuff like that and knew at the time that it would get worse... I set up a dual boot with windows 10 and Ubuntu. Figuring that I would probably use windows the most and only sometimes use Linux. After a short while I actually had moved everything I could to Ubuntu and only used windows for the very few things that were just too stubborn at the time. Mainly anti Cheat stuff. It was still 2018 after all. Since that eventually got solved I ditched windows completely and have never looked back. Though I still sometimes wonder about a few of the issues I see and hear about on windows these days.

I suppose it doesn't quite qualify as breaking the system in a funny or stupid way but it certainly was one of those stupid things that was easy to fix after a ton of trouble shooting, ignoring the issue for a while and trying to fix it again.

So i had an old pc where I had a failed hard drive which I replaced. Obviously I also accidentally unplugged my optical disc drive and plugged it back in. Now that failed drive was just a data drive so the system should have booted up no problem since the os was on a SSD but instead it got a kernel panic and got stuck at boot. Since it was late I left it at that and came back to that the next day where it would still not boot. So I unplugged the disc drive and looked up what it could be. Tried a ton of different possible solutions but every time I added that disc drive it would panic.

I eventually kind of gave up and just didn't use that disc drive at all and just had it as a paperweight in the system. Unplugged and all that. When my replacement SSDs for my old data drive and backup drive came in I tried again to get that optical drive working but to no avail. So I unplugged it again, got it all set up and ran into another issue where for some reason Linux couldn't properly use my backup SSD. So I investigated that as well and trough some miracle found a post on the forum from my Mainboard manufacturer... Turns out that particular Mainboard had a data retention chip on it that didn't like Linux.

So naturally I just plugged everything into the data ports that were not controlled by that chip and it all worked as intended.

Stupid dumb chip on a Mainboard, all I had to do was try the simple idea of unplugging and trying a different connector but instead I did all that other stuff first that didn't work and cost me so much of my time.

Moral of the story, when in doubt try and put stuff on different connectors and see if that fixes it. Might just be a dead connector for all you know. Or an incompatible chip on the Mainboard.

FWIW I bought that Mainboard long before I switched to Linux and didn't plan at all to switch at the time. But that's a different story.
