I've recently got a microSD card for my PiTop and once again started
fucking up the board with a variety of distros/operating systems, often
returning to Raspbian since every other system broke or didn't work well
on its own ways. For instance, I've first tried FreeBSD and turns out it
doesn't support the onboard Wi-Fi module because of Broadcom straight up
not supporting *BSD. Later I've managed to install Alpine Linux on it,
but my user shell broke after a couple updates, then afterwards I
reinstalled it, same result. Then I went with Arch Linux ARM, it was a
big nope, since I don't have neither a serial console nor Ethernet
connection, thus frustrating me on getting it to work. I have put
Raspbian on it again, which lasted for a couple days until I fucked
it up (whether it was on purpose or not is yet unknown). Today I sort of
installed Void Linux on it, but it became useless after an update that
had to be done anyway which made the Wi-Fi go poof. Once again I tried
Arch Linux ARM, this time with cmdline.txt tricks, big nope anyway. Up
next is OpenSUSE Leap, I'll see how it comes...

1: Permission denied for literally anything but busybox.

Shoot, OpenSUSE showed the bootloader menu just fine, but then
everything went moot, so I guess I'll just give up on the whole thing
and put Raspbian yet again, although not the one with the desktop, as I
plan to repurpose it as a tiny home server.

Damage caused to the microSD card: Any% (it's a miracle it didn't die
after too much read/writes, lol)
