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?
Yes
Linus has succinctly told nvidia what to do
with which finger.
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.
Had no idea it existed, let alone already built in. Got my first backup squared away with almost 0 effort.
Depending on your skill level/experience/will to suffer:
Launching windows from the bootloader instead of the grub menu should help stop the issue with windows.
Both OS are on different drives so the boot loaders don’t see eachother. I don’t trust Window not to fuck up my entire drive. I got to select the drive from my BIOS every time. I may just pull the SATA cable unless my ass hat friends want to play league.
