When I borked my Arch install back in 2013/14 (I can hardly remember). I was so pissed off I completely destroyed my laptop. It was an old HP Pavilion (however it has nvidia graphics). I regretted it later. I could still be using that old laptop today if id just stopped and taken a breath.
I cant remember exactly what happened, but I think I went away on holiday for about 4 weeks and came back and did the old "pacman -Syu" and well... needless to say it broke and I was unable to recover. I did spend a day or two trying to recover it, but it seemed hopeless. It wasn't the data loss I cared about, it was my configs. I was young(er) then, and foolish to not have backups. I didn't even git back then. My system was heavily customised and I wasn't experienced enough to be able to reinstall and get it back to where it was to I ceremoniously destroyed the entire laptop. I know it was wrong, but it felt good. EDIT: I literally took to it with a hammer and a screw driver. Hammering holes through the entire thing.
