Open /etc/default/grub in the editor of your choice, GUI is fine.

Look for the line that starts with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="...", and add the suggested change to the end of that line, but within the quotes. Save

Then in a terminal, sudo update-grub.

    Ok, attempted to kill init is a different kind of panic, your drivers are probably fine. Did you get that as it booted up? You turned it on, and it quickly dropped you into a shell, and you pressed ctrl-c/d at that shell, and got the panic?

    I'm suspecting some kind of hardware issue tbh, either SSD failing (failing during copy), or maybe GPU overheating? Overheating is the easiest to fix if you are comfortable opening the laptop, cleaning the fans (don't compressed air it, that can kill fans, toothbrush and paper towel is safest) and heat sinks, and then redoing the thermal paste.

    If you can boot it up, run the smart tests on the SSD to try rule that out.

    Triple backticks to get a code block, makes it a bit easier to read.

    Are you getting an actual kernel panic, or just this error in the logs? Error is probably no big deal unless you are getting a panic/crash. Take a photo of the kernel panic screen if you can.

    Have you been trying to install a driver or something like that? Or is this a fresh install?

    Now that spacex has been saddled with twitter/grok, I wouldn't say its particularly healthy either, but I am no expert. SpaceX alone was a genuinely innovative company, and still is a leader in space, but I dunno if it will continue now, or if it will just become another meme stock.

    This flying car thing is a joke

    Also a late joke, Top Gear made a Vauxhall Astra fly decades ago.

    Similar stunt too, stripped it out, filled with helium.

    I still go to reddit when bored at work, but to be honest, the comments are all basically the same. There is only so many times you can read the same reductive comments before you get bored.

    It'd be nice for there to be more activity, but I'm happy that its at least humans (mostly) here.

    I think for his supporters, keeping all the companies going builds into his mythos. If he lets any of them fail, suddenly he isnt on a perfect game anymore, and his valuation tanks. So he has to keep the circus going...

    The people idolising him are too stupid to realise that he has failed a bunch of companies at this point.
