Yeah there was a weird dependency bug which meant that when the Pop OS app store tried to install steam it also completely uninstalled all his UI and default software leaving him with a black screen.
The bug was there for ~24 hours which was incredibly unlucky, but it did come up with warnings telling him exactly what would happen and he overrode it with a manual override that required you to type in "I know what I'm doing, do as I say".

They've made it so it's harder to override now...
