Printed information can still be useful today.
Until about 2014 I had Linux (SuSE) from 1996 on as a second system on my computers. When SuSE 11.3 had problems with the monitor again, I had had enough and finally deleted it from my system. A process that I had already done umpteen times, since I reinstalled every SuSE version.
After the procedure known to me, there was the usual restart, and . . . I thought I didn not see it right: No system found. Shock at noon!
I had Win Vista Ultimate installed at the time and my private data was all encrypted. And of course I had not backed up the key.
It was a Sunday and it took me from 12pm to 1am to restore my system. The tips and advice I had printed out earlier helped me in this case. Without these documents I would never have gotten back into my system and much of my private data would have been lost as I had made the last backup about ten/twelve days before.
Progress or not, nothing beats the good old methods.
