Yes.
I wouldn't do it without tests and "enough" experience.
I would backup first.
Then I would install an atomic distro because I wouldn't want to care about this ever again
I try to keep everything I care about in one folder that is backed up regularly, so it’s not such a big deal to reinstall the OS.
Spent half the day debugging wifi and kernel panic issues during boot. What finally fixed it was adding 5 sec delay to iwd service so wifi card firmware can do it's thing (or at least I think thats why it helped).
The best way to learn something is by hurting you.
What where some of the commands you where unsure of? Might be able to help if it's a common problem like smb sharing.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
