Wanna remove the only way to boot into the computer?
That example is particularly on point, since I’ve done it (removed by boot bits - oops!) for a few of these, and each time I used a Linux Live boot CD to recover.
Even if I needed some other tool to repair things, the Linux Live CD went in first to do some backups.
The amount of times that me as a teenager had to call the computer shop after the OS being unusable because I was messing around was insane. They eventually just gave me the pirated copies of everything so I could reinstall stuff on my own. I really don’t miss the times of using windows and the constant reinstalls and breakage it had.
Wanna remove the only way to boot into the computer? Go ahead, you are in control. But sure hope you have a baxkup boot loader somewhere lol

Fine with that. I don’t like my shit telling me “primalmotion, I’m afraid I can’t do that”
“sudo go kill yourself, you smarmy little shit”
Linux distros: 🫡
Just don’t do that then
Oh Windows did mess with me a gazillion times in 2000s, when I was a poor kid with just one HDD, and tried to dual boot.
