minus-squarewesley@yall.theatl.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoMy setup got messed up once after a kernel update that went bad and booting from the live USB and running the recovery install fixed everything for me Only problem was that I had lost the USB, but luckily I still had my Win10 partition I can’t boot into and make a new one.
