  I wonder why the distros don't ship a static-core alternative package for all this stuff statically-linked, for people who actually care about improving the odds of recovering their systems in the face of random filesystem corruption which may break dynamic linking or fat fingered commands run as root. Zbyszek's comment about systems being cattle is very telling. What the hell are the these guys running on their laptops/desktops? I can see that attitude if you're only considering GNU/Linux as a substrate for running cloud instances and containers, but I use GNU/Linux as my main personal operating system on systems I absolutely do not view as cattle. Grrrr.

    I think the assumption today is that is easy to boot from some alternative media (usb/cdrom/pxe) into what used to be called a "live cd" (like Knoppix). Once there you can mount your existing partitions and attempt to fix any issues. The Fedora CDs have provided a "rescue" option since as long as I can remember and this attempts to find and mount your existing installation. There is also a rescue option in the grub boot list but I have never needed to use it. The Fedora docs also describe two further rescue and emergency modes available from the grub menu: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/f27/system-administrators-guide/kernel-module-driver-configuration/Working_with_the_GRUB_2_Boot_Loader.html#sec-Booting_to_Rescue_Mode https://docs.fedoraproject.org/f27/system-administrators-gui...
