What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

tanuki,

The first time I wanted to try Linux I did by installing elementary OS in dual boot mode (with windows) and everything went well, I played with it a bit and then I returned to Windows…

So, few days after that I realize that I have a lot of space in the Linux partition and I didn’t have plans to use it anymore so I go to drive’s & partition’s manager on windows to delete my elementary OS partition…

Oh Lord when I restarted my PC, grub was showing nonsenses and I couldn’t boot on windows again, I was in panic, I spent the rest of the day trying to fix grub to boot windows. At the end of the day I did it and save all my files and I uninstall grub properly, but what a day 😂
