Me: “Well I didn’t really need it anyway, right?”
When I was first getting into Ubuntu as a teenager I installed the grub bootloader on my dual boot install. I was shitting my pants when I restarted and it booted straight into Ubuntu instead of asking if I wanted Windows 7 or Ubuntu.
Oops, this happened to me after activating some systemd services years ago (forced me to boot into emergency mode to disable offending services)
It’s almost always /etc/fstab for me, thankfully.
Years ago I learned to always use vim when editing fstab for the syntax highlighting
