Can you detail a bit more?, what's the hardware, what happened (what was corrupted?), where were you running Linux from?, and how long ago?
Only times I've actually encountered issues recently were with old microSD cards on raspberry pi and nvidia drivers causing a mess on update sometimes.
- loufe 4y agoThis goes back a little, but IIRC one was GRUB somehow got messed up (yes, I know, technically not Linux... but it's part of the experience). I managed to fix that one by reinstalling GRUB which, to be completely honest, was kinda fun. That was my old Lenovo laptop. The next time is my new PC, with an AMD 5600x CPU, I have not the faintest idea what happened, Grub would boot into an error I couldn't find any clues on. I ended up just reformating the disk and turning it into extra space for Steam games.
