Truly terrible time Towerly-talking, last 24 hrs

- failed final attempt to install a certain
​​ debian-testing spin that shall nevermore be named, & whose ISOs have now been purged with hatey vengeance, not only failed its billionth installation attempt [all prior attempts with manual-partitioning, into /sda2, but this time using auto-partitioning, into /sdc, ie, i gave it the entire bloody SSD, replacing hitherto ​​ #kinoite there], but this time also fscked my beautifully purring lovely new Arch2, which ffs lives on a different fooken SSD jfc [in /sdb4, with its efi bootloader in /sdb3]!

- desperately researching how to fix grub on an encrypted Arch installation, my fav browser went on strike, choosing to begin displaying all tabs as blank pages... in a classic demonstration of the good ol' "
i have an urgent meeting to attend but just need to make these important photocopies for it first" syndrome.

- finally landing on what seemed to be the appropriate procedure & commands, i made my dozenth attempt to fix Arch2's buggered grub, only to eventually be told by
arch-chroot that it can't find a canonical path to /boot/efi, having already told me that my initial attempts to use either of /efi or /boot "don't seem to be EFI thingies". Obvs i still have to revisit & solve this, otherwise... i'll have to nuke this really lovely Arch2, which i had fussed & finessed for a coupla days getting it Just So, & reinstall it, then re-tweak it, despite afaict the root partition itself still being good, & only the preceding EFI partition stuffed up [this is supposition atm]

- icing on cake that sent this correspondent totes over the edge, late last night, whilst engaged in these battles... Tower's
original 6.5 y/o Arch1 [being atm the sole surviving penguin, in /sda4], after pretending for a coupla months to be fixed, fooken FROZE on me again [have been battling this curse for 6mths+, it having run sweetly for the prior 6 yrs].

I stormed off to bed, furious, & utterly determined that once i get at least one of my other penguins playing again, i was then gonna nuke the arse outta this recalcitrant Arch1 wotsit. This morn though, with the sun shining, & some time to reflect, i've decided to take the high road & be all Zen about it, in my local version of
Downunder Dropbear, or How i Learned to Stop Worrying & Love the Ice.

During the past 5 days one tool have saved my day three already times: Ventoy.

My daily driver Linux got botched 3 times during `pacman -Syu`, and without having a bootable disk I wouldn't be able to get back up and running this fast.

Bringing my USB stick was the wisest thing I did this morning!

#Ventoy #ArchLinux

The AUR package rstudio-desktop-binwas disowned, and the former maintainer didn't mention anything in the comments.

Anyone interested to adopt and maintain?

Sabe qual Γ© o sentimento de largar do meu amado #linux e ter que voltar pra p*rra do #windows?
È ter aquele sentimento que seu #PC não é SEU! Mas sim de uma bigtech arrogante e nojenta que quer "espremer" dinheiro o mÑximo que pode!
Linux Γ© #vida!

Learn to understand what you read and what you run on the terminal as well. RTFM.

Understanding what I read and experimentation carried me throughout all these years, all without asking for anyone's help or watching tutorial vids.

I really don't want to bother anyone and waste anybody's time so I just do everything myself but yeah, there's nothing wrong with asking for help.
