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!
I'm on 545 and I have no issues. But I'm also not using Ubuntu...
Maybe it's the distro that's the problem not the backup. I mean I'd rather have a distro with smooth updates than one that makes me need snapshots.
What's even the point with such a distro, ok so I restore previous working state, then what, I can't do updates anymore? Living in fear of official updates sounds terrible.
nvidia drivers have often done weird shit to my system. so, I would probably also lean towards amd in the future.
Yeah that's why I use Nvidia, because AMD drivers are super stable.
