Just started today. Was able to let it automatic repair and boot up. Was on for like 10 hours, shut down and tried to boot up some hours later. Now its completely stuck on automatic repair. Have unplugged all additional hdd’s and then all unnesscarry USB’s. Still doing this. Also removed my ethernet card. Still the same.

I cannot lose my data. I have several SSD’s and HDD’s with important files across several of them.

    To be fair that’s not an good comparison. This comparison would be proper if someone was asking:

    Hey my computer stopped working, can you help?
    Have you tried using a calculator instead?

    The proper one would be:

    Hey my Ford stopped working, can you help?
    Have you tried using arch linux a BMW instead?

    Neither of them are helpful, but I think it works better.

      … ……

      Or maybe suggest a repair manual or mechanic…? How is suggesting a bmw helpful?

        I said:

        Neither of them [the suggestions] are helpful

          You must need a ladder, because you clearly missed the entire point of my comment.

            No, I got it. I just wasn’t commenting on that part.

              So you missed/ignored my only point and decided to just bloviate about your own thing?

              Sure that makes total sense.

                That’s how conversations work, people don’t always fixate on the thing that you are trying to make a point on. They follow up with their points of view and things they can contribute with.

                  Thats… not how conversation works dude. If you’re not talking about a related topic, you aren’t contributing. Your derailing the conversation are best, or at worst, just a troll. That’s an incredibly ignorant and fallacious way of thinking, that everyone just needs to listen to your random thoughts?

                    You do realize that this started by you taking seriously something someone said in jest? The jig should’ve hinted at when the original comment said “seriously though” so in fact you are the one who derailed the conversation by having tunnel vision on a comment that was a joke, or a light hearted poke at something that you said.was not helpful.
