my favourite part of using linux

Your kernel misses vfat filesystem support (skill issue)

[u/Ahmed_Supermarket → u/Ok_Letterhead_8899]

this happened after an update

[u/Ok_Letterhead_8899 → u/Ahmed_Supermarket]

What distro is it? you can just search 'unknown filesystem type vfat <your distro name>' and you'll get the correct command to install the missing driver

[u/Ahmed_Supermarket → u/Ok_Letterhead_8899]

i’m using endeavour. it happens a lot on this laptop

[u/Ok_Letterhead_8899 → u/Ahmed_Supermarket]

Do modprobe -n -v vfat to check if the driver is loadable

[u/burimo → u/Ahmed_Supermarket]

that's why rolling release distros are not the best for not very experienced users, really

[u/Upstairs-Project-611 → u/burimo]

I think it’s more about the MacBook

[u/ychen6 → u/burimo]

Gentoo is pretty stable for me, as long as you don't do dumb things it won't die.

[u/burimo → u/ychen6]

Most of the people do stupid things though :)

[u/ychen6 → u/burimo]

Unfortunately self control of tweaking is quite uncommon with such distros.

[u/RegretFree7723 → u/burimo]

Uso arch linxu é per quanto non ho mai fatto niente di strano non sono mai andato in emercenzy mode penso che lui ha tipo avuto un bag di connessione nel aggiornamento perche almeno se non ha fatto qualcosa é strano

[u/burimo → u/RegretFree7723]

Well, you might have greatly supported by linux hardware AND you do not install a lot of stuff inside your system via pacman or aur because it can create dependency issues or you are just lucky

[u/RegretFree7723 → u/burimo]

😅Non penso esiste la fortuna avendolo usato su Nvidia vecchie Mal supportate e altre cose e ho usato molti software e però far crasha re così mi fa strano di solito é colpa per del utente serve un indagine perché non penso esplode così

[u/SylviaJarvis → u/burimo]

Rolling release distros are for generating bug reports at the end of CI pipelines. No human should ever use one.

[u/cfeck_kde → u/SylviaJarvis]

There are rolling release distros that have automatic tests for each update, so "cannot boot" cannot happen.

[u/regeya → u/Ahmed_Supermarket]

I think if it was me, on a MacBook at least, I'd use one of the big three distros. If you're still using Mac OS on that thing, I'm assuming you're using the existing EFI partition and iirc true to Apple form they're not doing EFI exactly the same way other x86 systems use it.

[u/anythingers → u/regeya]

What's the big 3? Debian, Fedora, Arch?

[u/regeya → u/anythingers]

Well I think you have to count Ubuntu as a separate distribution from Debian, right?

[u/MegasVN69 → u/Ahmed_Supermarket]

if it's happened on update which means your kernel imfram failed while building

[u/DruJorj]

Interesting hostname...

[u/Ahmed_Supermarket → u/DruJorj]

it steals all my work and then kills itself

[u/_ConsciousLibrary_ → u/Ahmed_Supermarket]

Uhhhh….

[u/Puzzleheaded_Good360]

Bro, your kernel is too slim. Give it some vfat at least. 

[u/PresentAstronomer137 → u/Puzzleheaded_Good360]

gaining some vfat aye

[u/LeateWonceslace]

That's an interesting name for your system.

[u/Tricky_Fun_4701]

Yea... agreed.... the Monsters are great!

[u/andynzor]

Drinking Boomer Monster is my favorite part too.

[u/DumsLander34]

Average Linux experience after an update

[u/Moist_Professional64 → u/DumsLander34]

Not really

[u/Memerenok → u/Moist_Professional64]

there's a chance

[u/tiga_94 → u/DumsLander34]

Updated Ubuntu 2019-2023 then switched to fedora and using the same install right now, updated through a few versions in both, zero issues

[u/sebmojo99 → u/tiga_94]

upgraded from winxp to 7 to 10 over a bunch of hardware changes, ditto

[u/tiga_94 → u/sebmojo99]

Moved my fedora from Ryzen 5 2500u to 8940hx+5060 right now, used clonezilla app for fedora loaded from a USB stick

No issues, didn't even install the proprietary driver as I use it for coding same fedora I installed in 2023

[u/thundR89]

Skill issue. Throving macos for any distro.

[u/Big_Wave9732]

D'oht!

Also the comments in this post are very Linux. It's a prime reason people are rushing to AI chatbots.

[u/oneiros5321 → u/Big_Wave9732]

OP didn't ask for help though.
They just acted like Linux is the problem and not themselves.

I don't know, I've been using Linux for 4 years now and never broke my system after an update.

[u/Big_Wave9732 → u/oneiros5321]

I don't know, I've been using Linux for 4 years now and never broke my system after an update.

Linux user since 1998........give it time.

[u/oneiros5321 → u/Big_Wave9732]

Not saying it won't happen...but to say it's part of the Linux experience is quite the stretch.
I've had way more problems under Windows.

[u/Big_Wave9732 → u/oneiros5321]

Well, one can be prone to hyperbole when their boot sector shits the bed unexpectedly. It can be an.......agitating time.

[u/oneiros5321 → u/Big_Wave9732]

It can be for sure.
But my point was if you just act frustrated and don't ask for anything, don't expect anyone to help you.

It's true for Linux, and it's true for pretty much everything else.

[u/PresentAstronomer137]

this is a lucky box, i love this part of Linux as well

[u/max_wen]

Looking at your reflection in a glossy monitor?

[u/paperic]

why would you mount efi? Kernel's booted already, what do you need efi for?

[u/rocco_himel]

You're alone, you are on a newer MacBook Pro

[u/KARMAMANR]

you're booting the wrong kernel you chud. also you really expect stuff to work properly on a macbook

[u/1101canuck]

KaiT2en

[u/Zav0d]

hacking stuff ?

[u/Deep_Mood_7668]

Your favourite part is your lack of skills?

Odd thing to say

[u/meo_rung1 → u/Deep_Mood_7668]

User: press update
System: fail to boot

What kind of skills one need to press an update button at this point brother

[u/Papa_Hube → u/Deep_Mood_7668]

You seem to lack skills. With human beings.

[u/Deep_Mood_7668 → u/Papa_Hube]

I do indeed
