I am still without a functional computer. Still trying to find an OS, ANY OS, that will actually boot, and does the things I need it to do in order to recover from this disaster. I've now tried 8 different Linux distros and counting.
All hardware diagnostics have revealed 0 errors from any of my hardware.
And there's a hurricane coming right for me, which is apparently currently a Category 5 in the Gulf of Mexico.
I also accidentally destroyed one of my whole-system backups because I thought there was a USB key plugged in, instead of my external drive, while trying to fix this at 3 AM. Go me.
So far, 100% of Ubuntu/Debian based Linux distros have failed, and I can't seem to get the KDE based ones to boot. The rest don't have the capacity to do what I need to do.
It's been 7 days now. My baldness is not improving with this situation. Hopefully this doesn't last much longer. There's not a whole lot left that I can try. I'm working on it, but if you don't hear from me for a while, it'll either be the hurricane or the computer or both. BBASAP.
