Rescue Your Crashed Linux System: The Chroot Technique

Is your Linux system refusing to boot? Don't panic! This post introduces the chroot technique, a true Swiss Army knife for Linux systems. By mounting the hard drive of your broken system into a working one (e.g., a live USB), you cleverly create a new root directory containing the broken system's files and essential system folders. After using the `chroot` command to switch to this new root, you can fix your broken system as if it were running normally, executing commands like `apt update` and `dpkg-reconfigure`. This technique once saved the author's Nanopore GridION device!
