Somehow the EFI partition doesn’t mount and it’s impossible to troubleshoot via phone, she asked me to put back the old system 😞

      Pop os wasn’t the best distribution to start her on. It’s new. Unstable and updates often. Linux mint, Debian, fedora.

        Are you thinking of some other distribution?

        Pop! hasn’t released a new version since 2022 and rarely updates aside from security patches.

        Bluefin/Aurora is the most sane option in that space, stock Silverblue offerings are lacking a few essentials.

        Or btrfs with snapper snapshots you can roll back to. Either way I suspect hard drive corruption. That’s usually what it is for me (although I do lose power with abnormal frequency)

      Are updates being done by the OS automatically or are you going into the terminal and running an apt-get upgrade periodically?

      I’ve had issues when I do a terminal update because I believe that Pop expects you to do an apt-get dist-upgrade
