If you reinstall enough things, enough times, it becomes a kink.

Use Timeshift, use Timeshift, use Timeshift.
Ok. I’ve downloaded, tar and gunzipped the files for it.
Then did a make build and then make install. Now my system won’t start. What do I do?
What
In the off chance that this isn't a joke, does your distro really not have timeshift binaries?
It’s a joke
saved me when I deleted the wrong partition.
Same, it's saved my butt so many times. Once in the middle of a tech conference, I was messing around in the terminal with my networking and borked something really bad.
I spent 5 minutes trying to get my networking back but couldn't figure out what I had screwed up and ended up breaking it more.
I just went into Timeshift and restored to the beginning of that day and in a few minutes I was back up like nothing had happened.
In the olden days, I would have spent hours to fix it, completely forget everything I've done over the course of those several hours and then having to reinstall it bcs I've broken something else in those unsuccessful attempts and now dont have the energy to figure out this clusterfuck too.
Ahh, good memories.
You're really selling me on Linux. Sounds like a nightmare
