Jumping from the default kernel with zfs to the xanmod kernel using a manually compiled version of zfs. I don’t rememeber a whole lot but it was quite… interesting. Next would be a suddenly vanished efi partition and my f* mainboard refusing to boot ZBM.
Bonus: my currently still unfixed problem is a very weird freezing/stuttering of the whole OS and the only (useless) “lead” I have is workqueue: fill_page_cache_func hogged CPU for >10000us 4 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
I don’t know how I fixed it, but KDE Plasma 5.whatever on MX was acting up. It would let me login but if I couldn’t do much else. Wouldn’t respond to my clicks or anything. Thankfully I could open Yakuake and install a different desktop environment. Then, one day while I was backing up files to do a reinstall, it started working again. I could use Plasma without issues. I have no clue what fixed it, though.
It also came with a non-issue of now my laptop won’t auto turn on every time I open it up, but I’ll take that over having to reinstall and set things back up.
Accidentally put grub on the wrong partition on the device, which it was not happy with. Was able to copy some files over, manually boot the OS, and reconfigure grub to be in the right partition, took me about 2 hours? Then I did it again on a different machine, and speedran it lol
I recently managed to recover from a corrupted libstdc .so. Turns out I shouldn’t have bothered because the it was a Pi and, of course, the SD card had shit the bed, but I was pretty happy with myself for like 30 minutes.
