Good explanation! When I had this issue that he has, I was unable to switch between tty’s because there was no output at all. Should only need to force restart for it to come back and be fine. But always a good reminder to have backups, time shift is my best friend!

I had this happen the other day on mint as well, I just waited a few minutes till I thought it would be done and restarted (force power off). Everything was fine after that.

Mindustry, sort of like factorio but open source and free on itch. Although you can also buy it on steam
