  • “I want to copy my root, home, and boot partition contents into a bigger drive I formatted with in terminal. Let’s boot from it and see what breaks.”

    spoiler

    /etc/fstab partition UUIDs needed to be fixed by hand. GRUB config needed to be updated to launch straight into bash and I needed to remount the root directly as R/W because GRUB was trying to protect me from myself.

    If you don’t know what a command does you can read the manual running the “man” command. Run “man” followed by the command you want to read about. It also works for some system files too!

    Also if you fix something like a driver issue for a game that took a lot of research. WRITE IT DOWN. It WILL come in handy in the future.
