I bet there was a relatively quick way to recover it. One thing that’s amazing about Linux is that it’s not locked up like Windows or a Mac.
I’ve practically destroyed systems (entirely my fault) but was still able to fix it.
I even mucked around on a laptop with a LUKS encrypted drive to add a dual boot with another Linux distro. I ended up destroying grub completely. I was back up with both distros working and without a single file lost in 30 minutes.
Maybe. I did some attempts to recover it, like reinstalling all broken packages. But everything I did seemed to break it even more. Any “simple” fix at my skill level would probably take weeks for me to find. So I gave up, backed up all essentials, and then wiped everything. Back up and running much quicker.
