If you never broke it, my first guess would be you never actually tried to do anything non-vanilla with it. You never tried to get multi-screen resolutions in the 10's or factional scaling in the early 20's. or tried to update an ATI or Nvidia graphics driver back when it was a binary blob every other kernel with it was a bomb waiting to go off.
And the whole "deathly afraid" is straight-up BS. Your tone is not appreciated. If you come back at me with more elitism, I'm just going to block you.
So it is people running beta software at the kernel level?
Edit: I am not trying to be elitist - why would messing with X11 cause your system to be bricked? Come up in run level 3 and fix your issue in the terminal.... ?
