When I was first starting out it felt like that. Granted, when I first used Linux it was in 2011.
I returned to Linux three years ago, and I only fucked up royally twice. Granted, I didn’t know how to fix what I did at the time (I removed my only account from sudoers).
My old MacBook hangs around just for this case. As clever as I think I am, I know, deep down, I am hack and have poor luck so I always need a ripcord.
Working as a self-taught dev has a weird toll. Lmao.
