Completely corrupted my hard drive
This is an older story, but I'll share it anyways.
I used to use Windows 10. It was pretty slow, but all things considered it was still usable, with patience. I work as a programmer, and thus, I have programmer friends, and I did then, too. By then, all of them had switched to Linux, in some form or another, and they were peer pressuring me to do the same. I wanted to leave Windows 10 by this time, so I was like "why not" and popped a Linux Mint XFCE Live USB. At first, things actually went really smoothly. Asides from the occasional jitter or lag, I could use it fine. Now, I installed 1 app. A singular app, Discord. And it worked fine. But the moment I tried to do anything else, I was out of storage. Mind you, this usb drive was 32gb big, and the Linux Mint install only took about 8gb. And I know damn well that Discord isn't 24gb big. So, what could it have possibly been doing?? Well, I guess I won't ever know, because I couldn't even shut down to look at the logs it made in Windows, because it was out of storage. Everything was out of storage, so I could do nothing. At some point, it threw me into a full screen terminal spewing more storage related gunk and bash failures. Thankfully, since this was a laptop, I could just yank the battery, and so I did. Booted back to Windows, and like half the USB drive was just corrupt. Cool. It may have been Mint's aggressive logging, or maybe the app package truly was that huge, which is a whole failure in of itself. Anyways, shortly after this, I switched to Windows 7 because Windows 10 corrupted my password, but thats for another time.
Thanks for listening.
