My crippled kernel count is around 6, how about yours?

    I started nearly 30 years ago and cannot count the dead systems I have left in my wake. Just on the 2000-ish thing where Dell first offered Linux but it was inherently unstable after booting the pre-written disk image if you touched it, alone… So many kernel sanity failures…

      I’m lucky to have only had one system nuked by a faulty power supply that shut down during a kernel update.

      I usually just reinstalled back then. But I didn’t get into it till the late nineties. Back when Ian was still on the list serves.

      Unless you mean nuking the OS or borking the bootloader. Then yeah, countless.
