Linux has a reputation for robustness but there are still plenty of ways to damage a perfectly working system. Here we share some of the ways you can trash Linux so you don’t make the same mistakes we did.
01. Fill a filesystem
If the filesystem containing /var fills up, nothing can write its log messages and all sorts of system processes may stall. This can be caused by a runaway process spamming /var/log or, if everything is on the same filesystem, it could be all the downloads in your home directory.
02. Reinstall Windows
No, this isn’t a typical Linux user’s anti-Microsoft jibe – the Windows installer doesn’t allow for foreign operating systems or bootloaders, so if you reinstall Windows it will overwrite your bootloader.
