Follow-up from “Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?”.

Here’s mine - the laptop from which I’m typing right now has a broken touchpad that keeps jumping and clicking randomly, and does not work. Well, I can’t afford to fix it, but at the moment, I was so pissed off I punched the touchpad really hard, and the machine panicked with all the lights blinking. A few more revival abuses, and the machine was back to life, but since I was running a nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade in the background, I blew off my boot partition. I think I just broke the unbreakable distro.

    I once deinstalled dpkg on Debian or Ubuntu.

    Back then I did not know what that dependency was. So apt-get uninstall dpkg felt okish for me.

    The funny thing is, apt forces you to type “yes I know what I am doing!”, but even that did not kill my flow here. I misspelled the sentence twice, than copied it and pressed enter…

    After I tried to compile dpkg again but decided relatively soon it’s time for the next distro hop.
