Somehow the EFI partition doesn’t mount and it’s impossible to troubleshoot via phone, she asked me to put back the old system 😞

    What distro did this happen on?

    How long ago did you install it?

        Pop os wasn’t the best distribution to start her on. It’s new. Unstable and updates often. Linux mint, Debian, fedora.

          Are you thinking of some other distribution?

          Pop! hasn’t released a new version since 2022 and rarely updates aside from security patches.

          Or btrfs with snapper snapshots you can roll back to. Either way I suspect hard drive corruption. That’s usually what it is for me (although I do lose power with abnormal frequency)

          Bluefin/Aurora is the most sane option in that space, stock Silverblue offerings are lacking a few essentials.

        Are updates being done by the OS automatically or are you going into the terminal and running an apt-get upgrade periodically?

        I’ve had issues when I do a terminal update because I believe that Pop expects you to do an apt-get dist-upgrade
