The site has been swamped with traffic lately, much of it from social media. Whoever's sharing the links, thanks! I've been sharing it on Reddit, first in the r/linuxtips sub and the following day it gets crossposted to r/linux.

It's chewing through bandwidth, which meant I had to upgrade the account. It should be set for this month. I'll see where it is at the end of the month.

What i might add is there are a few approches if your OS will not boot. There is rEFInd if your PC is uefi. There is also the approach if your PC won't boot of say re-installing grub via using a liveOS from usb mounting root partition of PC, doing a chroot etc

I have no idea how the link ended up that way. Thanks!

And, yeah, there's a whole lot that's not covered in this article. I decided from the start to merely cover the basics for the most common installs. Otherwise, it'd be a giant and convoluted article way beyond what I'm aiming to write.

The link should be fixed. I'm not sure how the heck I missed that. I seem to have pasted something from one of my many notes documents and haven't got a clue how it ended up that way.

But, it's fixed!

Also, the site has been getting an insane amount of traffic. I've had more than 200 unique visitors just today. I haven't even shared today's article in r/linux. I'll crosspost it to r/linux tomorrow, which is coincidentally after all the feedback y'all give me. I actually am doing it that way to level out the traffic.
