    I am still blowing up my install pretty often.

    Other than the user folder, what else should I back up for a fast and painless reinstall next time I get too adventurous?
    What should I break next?
    Dose Nvidia hate me?
    How do I stop Windows from fucking up my BIOS boot order every time?

      Timeshift will save you soooooo much pain. Set it up to auto backup a daily image. You can also manually create as many snapshots as you want.

      Timeshift has turned system-destroying mistakes I’ve made into mere 5-10 minute inconveniences. You can use it in the command line, so even if you blow up your whole desktop environment/window manager, you can still restore back to a known gold state.

      I create a snapshot before any major updates or customizations.
