    That seemed to be a major bug in POP_OS at one point, the youtuber Linus Tech Tips fell victim to it while trying it and it ended up being patched VERY fast

      I’ll add one bit of info from me. I’ve installed aptitude on Mint, as it was supposedly the best package dependency conflict resolver. I don’t remember what conflict I had, but when I launched aptitude to fix that broken package, it begun to uninstall every package. After reinstall, I’ve been using Mint as computer for modifying bootloaders in phones, and some minor works, returning to modified windows 10.

        I’m not the OS police, seems like using windows is kinda reasonable given your experiences with Linux

        Tbf I’ve had a similar thing happen like 6 years ago. I’ve been using Linux still but at the time I didn’t have much going on that system outside of a few games so it just turned into a long reinstall weekend. I forget exactly what happened but I also had another issue where I tried to install KDE Plasma desktop environment and it completely nuked my system. Idk if it was a user error or what.

        I’m still a Linux fanboy but it’s not without its own set of issues. I try to be a bit more careful in the terminal after all that and I haven’t had any major issues since. I do need to do a fresh install sometime in the near future though.
