    Smartphone (if you have one), library, friends and/or family, local repair shop?

    9 times out of 10 you’ll never fuck it up enough that booting from a USB isn’t possible. Have a copy of whatever Linux distro sitting on a pen drive and if things go really bad plug it in and use that to troubleshoot.

      For booting from a usb I’d say it’s much more than 9 times out of 10. You have to really go out of your way to brick a computer to the point where you can’t boot from a usb
