This is your annual reminder to do a snapshot (timeshift or whatever you prefer) before doing relatively minor changes to your system.
I was supposed to be in bed now, but instead I am stuck troubleshooting xorg refusing to start after an apt-get dist-upgrade.
And as far as friendly reminders go, I should’ve given myself an unfriendly reminder beforehand, as it’s not the first time…
UPDATE: Fuck nvidia 545. All my homies hate nvidia 545. 535 4 lyf!
When u realize you dont even use a backup software rn
I just copy my whole-ass home dir to an external drive every so often like a caveman.
I just make sure I don’t have any important data.
Which you should absolutely do even if you snapshot the eff out of your system. What about hardware failure, eh? Can’t snap that nvidia shit can you?
I use rsync, but all my necessary files are on 2 different drives than the OS.
Any new distro gets pointed to “home” for each user. Old school, but works for me.
