Anonymous I forgot how fucking stupid no(...) >be me >used linux for about a year, semi experienced >friend wants install ubuntu >uses the auto install 6 months or so later >wants to switch to ubuntu server he's using it for a project involving hosting openvpn >calls me >wants to split up root and home partitions because ubuntu doesn't automatically do that >tell him to manually partition, tell him to mark /, /home, /boot/efi, and optionally some swap >he doesn't mark /boot/efi >doesn't tell me >we keep at it for a solid week, don't know why the fuck his shit won't boot Another month or 2 later >calls me again We usually call once a month or so just for fun and usually it ends with me giving him linux help >brings up the partitions >he asks "hey did you ever figure out what ended up happening with that?" >told him to show me the partitions >"I like you said, i partitioned and marked /, / and /home >ask him 'did you mark your efi partition as /boot/efi?' >"no, was i supposed to do that?" >"are you telling me this shit happened over some random bullshit that you told me about?" This faggot really made me waste 2 weeks over him not marking a fucking boot partition. I am at a loss for words. I swear to never help normies with this shit again

На скриншоте анонимный пост с зелёным текстом рассказывает о пользователе Linux, который решил переустановить Ubuntu и неправильно разметил разделы диска. Из-за того, что он не указал EFI-раздел как /boot/efi, система не загружалась, а автор потратил две недели на поиск причины. Шутка высмеивает неопытного пользователя и раздражение технически подкованного друга, который больше не хочет помогать «нормисам». EN: An anonymous greentext post tells about a Linux user who decided to reinstall Ubuntu and partitioned the disk incorrectly. Because he did not assign the EFI partition as /boot/efi, the system would not boot, and the author spent two weeks trying to find the cause. The joke mocks an inexperienced user and the frustration of a technically savvy friend who no longer wants to help “normies.”
