I hear this is a rite of passage. I made it 4 weeks before I rekt all my shit (it was nvidia related). Where do I claim my sticker?

In all seriousness, now that I understand better these commands that I've been haphazardly throwing around, Id like to do a clean install. God knows what else Ive done to it. Can i just reinstall to my root partition and have my home partition work as expected?

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).

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.

I overwrote my ssh private key with rsync. Fortunately I had special cron job running on my servers that updates ssh public keys on a server with ssh public keys from my github account, so I just had to upload a new key to the github and wait for a few hours.

The best way to learn something is by hurting you.

See my top-level comment; even if they're ready for the complexity, it doesn't protect you from a similar mistake!

My pacman -Syu crashed on my old laptop and at this point I might just reinstall it, this time putting on some sort of a snapshot solution on it like on my main laptop

Btrfs with pre and post pacman-triggered snapshots. Only had to use it once, but it was very smooth.

yeah, that's how I roll there

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.
