Tbf this would be the same on windows (well, if there was a fix other than reinstall...), unless you just already know the fix, which then would be the same on linux, you just don't know it yet.

Besides, since windows only fix would be to reinstall, no second pc needed, just keep the installation drive and treat it like a windows reinstall, bam same same.

    Meh, safe mode with networking is pretty reliable about getting you back online (as long as you aren't using WiFi).

    Plus, this complaint kinda loses it's validity when I have 3 computers on my desk, and most people have at least 1 in their pocket at all times.

    Lots of Windows machines come with the OS preinstalled but no install media, you will need another computer in that case.

    You can make a recovery disk or whatever it's called.
