You give that up that strategy and lean into fixing shit when you put the time in to customize the OS and desktop/window manager experience… at that point you should understand your system well enough to make fixing it easier, and you are also afraid of having to redo some of your customization. That being said, you still should make regular system backups, especially if you are tinkering with the OS experience a lot.
If you are afraid of redoing your customizations you are using the wrong distro.
It’s not about being afraid.
Customizing takes time and effort, which I’d rather use like.
Doing stuff?
Unless I want to re-customize it to be something else, I’d rather not re-make my entire set-up. I figured out what the relevant files were to how my whole set-up (DE look & behaviour, dotfiles for like
fishandnvim) and copied it all to a USB Drive that I just drop onto my home folder whenever I install my OS on a new computer.
