Primarily it's different because you would not have had to boot into any safe mode. You would have just booted from the last good image from like a day ago and deleted the current image and kept using the computer.

What’s the user experience like there? Are you prompted to do it if the system fails to boot “happily”?

Honestly, I'm actually not sure as I never had the system break that badly while I was using it.

lol thanks for the answer. This is the really relevant bit isn’t it? My Linux machines have also never died this badly before. But I’ve seen windows do it a number of times before this whole fiasco.
