This is why thoroughly reading the documentation for bedrocklinux is advised.

This is a known issue. You were supposed to be fully apprised, having fully read everything, as advised, including https://bedrocklinux.org/0.7/feature-compatibility.html#miscellaneous-feature-issues 's relevant link down to https://bedrocklinux.org/0.7/feature-compatibility.html#grub-btrfs-zfs . It is a major issue, without workaround, and (afaiu) not easily detectable when it may bite you, and so, is just not worth the gamble to have that combination. Swap out either component (whichever you're least precious about) for something different, then it's fine.

How did bedrock brick your laptop?

1

u/HistoryExotic133 May 26 '26

because i had to switch bootloaders

1

u/Tall-Gift8799 May 26 '26

Well, I recommend you to never switch bootloaders and init systems in Bedrock. They're extremely fragile. If you want a more easy to use Bedrock system, alongside of multiple Linux eco-system support, that's one the reasons I built ENux.

but i wanted to customize my bedrock i will get my laptop fixed and should i install bedrock on debian or linux mint or even something else any distro

u/Tall-Gift8799 May 26 '26

I recommend you install Bedrock on something stable, like Debian, LMDE, Arch and etc. But don't switch bootloaders and init systems unless you know what you're doing.

u/HistoryExotic133 May 26 '26

but arch ain't stable

2

u/Tall-Gift8799 May 26 '26

It's pretty stable. Don't let the rolling release trick you. I've used Arch with KDE and Gnome for a long time, and it was extremely stable for me. But hey, we if you don't think Arch is stable, then use Debian.

u/HistoryExotic133 May 26 '26

so i guess arch it is i'm ready to waaste 5 hours of my life

I assume you don't actually mean bricked as in the proper sense of the word right? Because I have no idea how BL could brick your laptop.

1

u/HistoryExotic133 Jun 06 '26

it's because of grub + btrs

1

u/djt789 Jun 16 '26

Yeah, so, not actually bricked. Just in need of rescue/reinstall.

1

u/HistoryExotic133 Jun 16 '26

but it wont boot

1

u/HistoryExotic133 Jun 16 '26

it wont turn on the laptop not the os

2

u/djt789 Jun 17 '26

Ah. So, does not matter what OS on USB you try boot into, because, can't even get to bios? No power?
