I thought I wasn’t due for one of these threads for a few more months, but apparently they’re no longer confined to just dist upgrade, so here goes episode 3

the worst part is I distinctly remember thinking “thank god @MasinAD doesn’t follow me on Twitter, he’d kill me” back then (both times)
and, well, now he does

@MasinAD at least I have a bootable USB stick with Ubuntu LTS (normal Christmas holidays preparation, right?), hopefully I can boot from that to run diagnostics

@MasinAD okay, somehow the boot entry had vanished from the EFI boot order. fixed with `sudo efibootmgr --bootorder 0000,000C` (from the live Ubuntu system)

so that’s three out of three Ubuntu upgrades (beyond just package upgrades) that broke and required good Linux knowledge to fix

“Linux has problems, but it gives you the tools to deal with them” (https://www.xkcd.com/196/) – okay, but am I supposed to recommend this to anyone else? :(
