    I’m the type to mess around with pipewire, break stuff, fix it, learn nothing from that and fuck it up again. I’ve got it doing what I want it to, and yet I wanna tinker around and probably mess it up again because I can’t seem to really understand the docs or configuration files.

    I’m the type to have two OS (Nobara, Ubuntu) on separate disks, then decide to rip the guts out of the second one (Ubuntu) and just use the disk for data storage (without reformatting) but keep forgetting to also delete the boot partition that no longer works anyway (because none of the system directories exist anymore) but occasionally UEFI randomly decides to boot it first and ends up with a fucked up and hopelessly confused GRUB.

    I’m the type to put the second disk in fstab, then unplug it and wonder why boot is having issues loading the filesystem.

    This is my primary system, so I’m just barely holding back from messing with the system itself, because I know I’ll fuck up something and I’d rather still have a working system to either troubleshoot from or at least decide I’ll postpone the unfucking and play Satisfactory instead to mess up my factory there.

    I’ll probably format my third disk again (currently Bazzite, which I never really fully set up to try at length) and try something new on there. Still haven’t figured out how to make my GRUB add entries for other disk, but also, I really don’t wanna touch my primary boot config.

    I can’t stop messing with things I don’t properly understand, get impatient with trying to understand the Docu and just fly blind, with predictable results. I tell myself half the joy is in fixing it, because the second it works, I forget it all and get to figure it out again next time.

    I’m the “incorrigible amateur” type.
