Rermoved the Wireless card drivers while troubleshooting the Internet connection..

Tried to use Manjaro at some point. What a horrible distribution.

I activated aur in majoro. Twice.

Now I use endeavourOS to install my arch.btw, lol

I footgunned myself with iptables once and couldn't even google how to fix it. (Well, I could with my phone, just not the convenient google - copy - paste - run workflow)

I don't remember the details, but I was trying to control internet access of a VM guest and ended up controlling my own too.

I tried upgrading instead of a fresh install.

Needless to say, I ended up doing a fresh install eventually...

Mine was wiping my vps while backing it up. Luckily for me I only lost some files that I could easily replace.

I once had grub and rEFInd installed on the same system and an Arch update hosed both. I was able to fix it with an Ubuntu LiveCD and went back to Ubuntu. I still use Arch in a VM as a treat.

One time on Manjaro i had a dependency issue regarding python3. So i just removed it. The I watched in horror as i saw what packages depend on python3, including pacman and manjaro-system, but did not dare to interrupt the process and end up with a half-broken system, and my curiosity wanted to see it play out. Then I rebooted, and thus legally turned my Manjaro system into a half-working Arch install. It even displayed the OS as Arch Linux. Still managed to fix it without reinstalling by downloading the package files from http mirrors, but if i was smart the entire thing should have taken 5 minutes instead of a full afternoon. Was a valuable learning experience tho
