>If you want to run an alternative operating system, you got to learn how it works.

You only need to learn how to start a browser. You're a little behind the times, today browser is the OS.

What happens when the OS that is running the browser fails to update because /boot has run out of room for a new Linux kernel (this happened to me the other week)?

What happens when the browser update fails because the package database got corrupted?

What happens when a lock file stop the whole system updating because of a previous iffy update?

You are going to need to drop to a terminal and fix that issue or reinstall the whole OS.

Either way you are going to need to know something about how the machine works.
