    You sound like an ad. There’s no way you “corrupted system libraries” from a hard shutdown unless you were doing something funky.

      Just very happy. You would be too if it saved your entire system. You think im lying about what happened for a Lemmy comment? What would be the benefit of that?

      The entire system froze during an update while it was working on the kernel. Had to reboot. When it came up, lots of library files were empty under /usr/lib, including pulseaudio libs and other important ones. No graphical user interface would start. Gdm didnt start.

      Its the truth.

        People lie literally fucking all the time on here. It’s only vaguely better than reddit in that regard.

        And also it’s literally impossible for what your describing to happen. That’s just not have any to that works.

        The only way would be your entire hard drive was failing and rampant corruption was happening. But you don’t just recover from that.

          Its funny to read how confident you are, when I know it actually happened. :)

            Just as likely a botched chmod killed your read access. The problem with following gpt is that YOU don’t know what you are doing to your system, and you will confidently fumble through the instructions it pieces together, whether they are helpful or not.

            Holisticism isn’t good tech.
