I cannot fathom having my shit together to such a degree that my bootloader has a theme.

I completely forgot that grub could be themed… brb
That is kind of awesome.
I wish Debian’s default Grub theme was less ugly; I know I could change it (and I have on other installs, but I’m quite lazy about theming these days. Part of it is I have a laptop that I rely on for college and don’t want to risk any theme glitches, so I keep its Debian install as vanilla as possible.
Fun fact: you didn’t have to reinstall; you can actually boot up a live usb and chroot into your install to fix things.
I'm sure you could have fixed it with GRUB Rescue. It's slightly annoying, but it isn't that hard to get booted from that. Once you get it to boot then you can fix things.
Don't give up so quickly next time. It's useful to learn how to fix it instead of just accepting failure and resetting everything.
Nicely done. Im always too scared to break my machine by messing with grub. :)
Meh. I'll be impressed when it plays Aria Math.
(j/k, this is awesome, I love it)
I have my system select the default option really quickly, so I don't see GRUB. This makes it tempting to not do that, but I think I'll accept the convenient option instead of the cool option still.
