It doesn't matter, mistakes are normal. You learned how to not brick your installer now
the most thing is that i don't really know what caused it? is there a known thing for pressing "back" and "next" a lot in 22.04 bricking the installer
Your description makes me question if you know what the word "brick" even means. Do you just mean "break?"
For me: Brick -> commit something that makes something not boot
If you truly brick something, it means you can't fix it. "Hard bricking" (or actual bricking) means it's permanently unusable, i.e. has become a brick. "Soft bricking" would be something that requires you to e.g. open the machine up, clip onto the BIOS chip, and re-flash the firmware in order to recover.
If you can fix it by re-imaging your flash drive or reinstalling your OS, you broke the software, but you did not "brick" the system.
